"What I want - Jeeves, have you seen that play called I-forget-its-dashed-name?"
"No, sir."
"It's on at the What-d'you-call-it. I went last night. The hero's a bright chap who's buzzing along, you know, quite merry and bright, and suddenly a kid turns up and says she's his daughter. Left over from act one, you know - absolutely the first he'd heard of it. Well, of course, there's a bit of a fuss and they say to him "What-ho?" and he says, "Well, what about it/" and they say, "Well, what about it?" and he says, "Oh, all right, then, if that's the way you feel!" and he takes the kid and goes off with her out into the world together, you know."
(from Carry On, Jeeves, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
