Dammit, I can't seem to resist. It's too damn slashy. Right after I posted last time and shut off the computer I read where Psmith first springs the "you and I shall wander, hand in hand" scenario on Mike, and it just sounded as though Psmith was checking for reaction. I couldn't sleep last night for thinking about this one, so I had to jot it out as soon as I got up this morning. I'll probably regret posting it without giving it some thought, but here you go...

( They'd managed to slip away from the other Young Archaeologists, )edited to add:
Completely unrelated, but it occurred to me last night that Psmith is sort of like Young Sherlock Holmes. That similar languid style except when he's in the middle of something, and the superior air. And Mike fills the stolid role of Watson fairly well.
edited again to add a comma here and a dash there.
