"Why did you ask if I was doing anything this morning? Do you want me to roll up?"
"If you would. Bill's sure to forget to bring a witness. He's rather got the jumps, poor angel. And I don't want to have the driver of the taxi."
"I know what you mean. When Aggie and I were put through it, we had to fall back on the charioteer, and he spoiled the party. A bit too broadly jocular for my taste, besides wanting to muscle in on the wedding breakfast.
(from Full Moon, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
