[Bertie is trying to convince a furious Tuppy Glossop that he's had no romantic intentions toward Angela Travers]

Bertie Wooster:
During that sojourn in Cannes, my affections were engaged elsewhere.

Tuppy Glossop:
What?

Bertie Wooster:
My affections. Engaged elsewhere, during that sojourn.

Tuppy:
[angrily] Well, who was she?

Bertie Wooster:
My dear Tuppy, does one bandy a woman's name?

Tuppy:
One does if one doesn't want one's ruddy head pulled off! [approaches menacingly]

Bertie Wooster:
Well, yes, right, yes, well, obviously this is a...a special case. Madeline Bassett.

Tuppy:
[astonished] You're in love with that weird Gawd-help-us Bassett!?

Bertie Wooster:
Well, I don't think you should call her a weird Gawd-help-us, Tuppy. Odd in some of her views, perhaps. One does not quite see eye-to-eye with her in the matter of stars and bunny rabbits. But not a weird Gawd-help-us.

Tuppy:
And you stick to it that you're in love with her?

Bertie Wooster:
It is not twenty-four hours since she turned me down.

Tuppy Glossop:
Turned you down?

Bertie Wooster:
Like a bedspread. In this very garden. So, you'll see, I can't be the chap, if any, who stole Angela from you in Cannes.

Tuppy Glossop:
Well, because your affections were engaged elsewhere...

Bertie Wooster:
During that sojourn.

Tuppy:
Hmm, I see. All right then. Sorry to have troubled you.
