What makes Phoebe Wisdom sing?

Nothing, except possibly the discovery that the ground on which she treads is worshipped by a butler for who she has long entertained feelings deeper and warmer than those of ordinary friendship, can raise a woman's spirits more than the knowledge that the brother who is the apple of her eye is, in spite of appearances, in full possession of his marbles.

(from Cocktail Time, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
