From The Inimitable Jeeves, by P. G. Wodehouse

"'I suppose what it amounts to, Jeeves, is that, when young Bingo really takes his coat off and starts in, there is no power of God or man that can prevent him making a chump of himself.'
'It would seem so, sir,' said Jeeves."
From Chapter 12, Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood

THOSE WHO KNOW
"Those who know Bertram Wooster best are aware that in his journey through life he is impeded and generally snootered by about as scaly a platoon of aunts as was ever assembled."

GRADUALLY
"Then gradually, by degrees -- little by little, if I may use the expression -- disillusionment sets in. She sees him eating a poached egg, and the glamour starts to fade."
