P.G. Wodehouse Quote
I am familiar with the name Bassington-Bassington, sir. There are three branches of the Bassington-Bassington family - the Shropshire Bassington-Bassingtons, the Hampshire Bassington-Bassingtons, and the Kent Bassington-Bassingtons.England seems pretty well stocked up with Bassington-Bassingtons.Tolerably so, sir.No chance of a sudden shortage, I mean, what?Presumably not, sir.And what sort of a specimen is this one?I could not say, sir, on such short acquaintance.Will you give me a sporting two to one, Jeeves, judging from what you have seen of him, that this chappie is not a blighter or an excrescence?No, sir. I should not care to venture such liberal odds.
