[at the Junior Ganymede Club for gentlemen's gentlemen]

Valet #1:
Of course, one can't get proper gentlemen nowadays.

[the others murmur in agreement]

Valet #2:
They're not what they were, certainly. The one I've got at the moment insists on calling me by my first name!

Valet #1:
Well, one tries to be tactful, of course, but one is simply swimming against the tide. I blame their parents. How's yours now, Jeeves?

Jeeves:
Oh, really quite promising. I always suspected I could make something of him, and such is proving to be the case.

Valet at the head of the table:
But you want to see the book, don't you?

Jeeves:
I'm not considering another gentleman. This is quite another matter.

Valet at the head of the table:
The book for Mr. Jeeves, if you please.

Valet #3:
Well, I must say mine is coming along very nicely, very nicely indeed. You remember I had to be quite severe with him about wearing a soft hat before Goodwood? [the others smile and shake their heads] Good as gold now, good as gold.

Jeeves:
[taking the book] Ah, thank you.

Valet #1:
I'm really quite concerned about this first-name business.

Valet at the head of the table:
I think they pick it up from the cinema.

Valet #1:
Why don't you try not answering when he calls you by the wrong name?

Valet #2:
Oh, I don't think I could carry that off. One doesn't like to hurt their feelings, does one?
