"Potty, what?"
"The lady does appear to diverge somewhat from the generally accepted norm, Sir Roderick."
"She's as crazy as a bed bug. I'll tell you something, Jeeves. That sort of thing wouldn't be tolerated at Harrige's."
"No, sir?"
"Not for a moment. If this Mrs. Dogsbody, or whatever her name is, came into - say Cakes, Biscuits and General Confectionry and started acting that way, the store detectives would have her by the seat of the trousers and be giving her the old heave-ho before the first gibber had proceeded from her lips."
(from Ring for Jeeves, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
