It is, of course, masterful, and difficult to excel. But it is worth recalling that the very same work includes both Gussie's sozzled-to-the-gills prize-giving speech and Anatole's marvelous attempt to vent his spleen in "English."

And there's great beauty and poetry in this moment: __ "Life is full of sadness, Jeeves." "Yes, sir." "Still, there it is." "Undoubtedly, sir." "Right ho, then. Switch on the bath." "Very good, sir."

A masterful throw-away element in RIGHT HO, JEEVES is Bertie's comment on his experience with the rubber duck in the bath. "If you shove the thing under the surface with the sponge and then let it go, it shoots out of the water in a manner calculated to divert the most careworn."
