No difference that could tell

     "Every day I find myself discovering some new facet of his extraordinary character. For instance . . . You have seen him quite lately, have you not?"

    "Oh, rather. I gave him a dinner at the Drones only the night before last."

    "I wonder if you noticed any difference in him?"

    I threw my mind back to the binge in question. As far as I could recollect, Gussie had been the same fish-faced freak I had always known."

(from The Code of the Woosters, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
