[following Gussie's utter failure to make a good impression with Madeline Bassett]

Bertie Wooster:
But how could anything go wrong? All he had to do was… propose.

Jeeves:
So one would be disposed to imagine, sir. However, upon finding himself alone with the young lady, he confesses to having lost his nerve. In such circumstances, gentlemen frequently talk at random, sir, saying the first thing that chances to enter their head. This, in Mr. Fink-Nottle's case, would seem to have been the newt: its treatment in sickness and in health.

Bertie Wooster:
Bad, Jeeves.

Jeeves:
Yes, sir.

Bertie Wooster:
And how long did he go on talking about newts?

Jeeves:
According to Mr. Fink-Nottle, he supplied Miss Bassett with very full and complete information, sir.

Bertie Wooster:
Very bad, Jeeves.

Jeeves:
Indeed, sir.
