"Rollo Mountford."
"Was it? Well, what has become of Rollo? You seem to have mislaid him. Did you break off the engagement?"
"Well, it - sort of broke itself off. I mean, you see, I went and married Mike."
"Eloped with him, do you mean?"
"Yes."
"Good heavens!"
"I'm awfully ashamed about that, Eve. I supposed I treated Rollo awfully badly."
"Never mind. A man with a name like that was made for suffering."
(from Leave It To Psmith, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
