Sir Raymond Bastable's distressing habit

     "Raymond has been behaving so very oddly this last week or two. I don't mean so much giving me flowers and asking after my rheumatism, but I do think it was strange of him to go swimming in the lake with all his clothes on."
     "Did he do that?"
     "I saw him from my window."
     "According to Shakespeare, Julius Caesar used to swim with all his clothes on."
     "But did he gather frogs?"
     "No, you have a point there."

(from Cocktail Time by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
