By Jove, there's a great flurry of talk going on. Is there something important happening? If so, this Wooster is willing and able to lend strength, wit, and...thingness to the cause.
[Now a cough that signifies forthcoming awkward questions]
This telephonic device was delivered this morning with a small packet of instructions. I was not anticipating your presence at the other end of the line, as it were. I feel compelled to ask if you are quite safe, sir?
Oh, yes, this ship is perfectly safe. [Bertie remains forever oblivious to all the mass mayhem, torture, and death.] In fact, it's all a bit dull. Did you know there's not even a shuffleboard on deck?
So, how are my old chums? Tuppy, Biffy, Stinker and the rest of them? How have they fared without me around to advise them on their troubles?
Er...I was, indeed, contacting my home. That tall and handsome chap I was just talking to, the one with the enormous, brain-filled skull is my valet, you see. He's been minding the flat while I've been away.
Why, Mr. Claus! Of all the people I never thought I'd meet. How do you do, sir.
There is this tie, bright blue with tiny yellow dots on it, that I meant to buy but by the time I got 'round to it the bally thing had been snatched off the table by someone else! I don't suppose you could swing that for me, could you?

If you eat all your vegetables and wash behind your ears, I will see to it that you have that tie on Christmas morning.
