How to foil a snake

"I say, in case you were worrying, it's all right about that cobra. The hero had got at it without the villain's knowledge and extracted its poison-fangs. With the result that when it fell down the chimney and started trying to bite the heroine, its efforts were null and void. I doubt if a cobra has ever felt so silly."

(from Very Good, Jeeves by Sir P. G. Wodehouse)
