"And what, pray, Jeeves, do you object to about these plus fours?" I inquired. "I'll have you know they're all the rage in Michel Delving this year." "Indeed, sir." "And don't say "indeed sir," in that disparaging sort of tone." "No, sir." "Now, my longbow, if you please. And pass me that little thingummy thing that you clip on the end. Bingo Littlefoot had one in the Drones archery tournament last year, you know, and you know what a frightful shot he is usually. Normally when old Bingo's getting off a shot, the safest place is in front of the target. Arrows going off in all directions. But this year he couldn't miss! Remarkable little gadget. It's all been worked out scientifically, you know." "Indeed, sir."
