    "Who does not?" said Psmith courteously.

    "Quite large enough," said Psmith. "I mean, of couse," he added with a paternal smile, "that, while your delicate art may not have a universal appeal in a young country, it is intensely appreciated by a small and select body of the intelligentsia."

    And if that was not the stuff to give them, he reflected with not a little complacency, he was dashed.
