It is always disconcerting, when you are expecting a man from the northeast, to have him suddenly bark at your from the southwest, especially if he does so in a manner that recalls feeding time in a dog-hospital, and Bill sent into his quaking and leaping routine with the smoothness that comes from ready practice. Even Jeeves, though his features did not lose their customary impassivity, appeared - if one could judge by the fact that his left eyebrow flickered for a moment as if about to rise - to have been stirred to quite a considerable extent.
(from Ring For Jeeves, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
