Like a bee

     "Excuse me, I'm sure, but you're in request this afternoon, Philliter. Here's Dr. Carr come for you."

    Dr. Carr followed hard upon his name. The sight of Wimsey struck him speechless.

    "I told you I'd be turnin' up again before long," said Lord Peter, cheerfully. "Sherlock is my name and Holmes is my nature. I'm delighted to see you, Dr. Carr. Your little matter is well in hand, and seein' I'm not required any longer I'll make a noise like a bee and buzz off."

(from Unnatural Death, by Dorothy L. Sayers)
