You may say what you like against Bingo, but nobody has ever found him a depressing host. Why, many a time in the days of his bachelorhood I've known him to start throwing bread before the soup course. Yet now he and Uncle Thomas were a pair. He looked haggard and careworn, like a Borgia who suddenly remembered that he has forgotten to shove cyanide in the consumme, and the dinner gong due any moment.
(from Carry On, Jeeves, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
