Wodehouse Gems: IV

Lady Glossop: Do you work, Mr Wooster?

Bertie: What, work? As in honest toil, you mean? Hewing the wood and drawing the old wet stuff and so forth?

Lady Glossop: Quite.

Bertie: Well... I've known a few people who worked. Absolutely swear by it, some of them. Boko Fittleworth almost had a job once.
