“I say, Jeeves, did you know there’s a, a something on the table in here.” Bertie Wooster exclaimed as he entered the flat.
“Yes, sir. I believe it’s a ferret.” Jeeves replied.
“It’s wearing a dashed special outfit, I must say. The orange and green waistcoat is simply stunning.”
“Indeed, sir!”
“You know, Jeeves…”
“No, sir. I don’t think so.”
“Very well. I suppose you may have a point. But what is it doing here?”
“Why don’t you ask him?”
Bertie looked at the ferret, who raised an eyebrow.
“Well?” Bertie asked.
The ferret launched into a song:
If you’re brown and all you can do is sit and frown
Come and enjoy
Partying ’t the Savoy
Chaps with striped trousers ‘n fancy waistcoats
Cravats tied too tightly round their sore throats
Man ‘n Ferret both look our best as we wear it
No need to be coy
Partying ‘t the Savoy
Bertie listened appreciatively, before striding over to the piano and beginning to play. Then he called out, “I say, Jeeves, I shan’t be going out this afternoon after all. The ferret and I are going to duet.”
“Very good, sir!”
