Quote meaning - Please Answer

[life-of-amesu.livejournal.com]

Halloa,

Since we all know Wodehouse to be the inventive and creative man that he was, usually using unique and time appropriate language (i.e. old bean and crumpet, chewing on the carpet, tight as an owl wetc). Ir might be a completely silly question but I was wondering if any good person here would know what the following quote meant: (re: the bold text bits) (It's from How Right You Are, Jeeves)

"You will observe me bowling up in the Wooster sports model tomorrow afternoon with my hair in a braid and a song on my lips."



Thank you my daring and awesome Wooster friends. :)

Urban dictionary, surprisingly, has a definition for 'Hair in a braid':

'Enjoying the festivities with the maximum enthusiasm, being the life of the party.'

Of course urban dict isn't exactly merriam-webster, but it seems to fit the context here. I suspect it's American slang but either way it is not a very popular expression on google.

The second bit - the song - I always just took to mean 'with evident cheer'. Might well have missed the point though.

Isn't Wodehouse's terminology great?

I think we need a Wodehouse dictionary of all his fun expressions.

I've often thought of making one up for myself, but I've not taking the time. Maybe it should be a meme. Suggest a word and somebody writes a drabble fic to explain it?
