#Wodehouse_perfection

Time, the great healer, could never remove from my memory the occasion when he found me----then a stripling of fifteen---smoking one of his special cigars in the stables. He got after me with a hunting-crop just at the moment when I was beginning to realize that what I wanted most on earth was solitude and repose, and chased me more than a mile across difficult country.
