Aunt Agatha has chosen a wife for Bertie, and expects him to propose to Honoria Glossop; with his new manservant, Jeeves, Bertie spends the weekend at the Glossop country home. While there, he discovers that his old friend, Bingo Little is employed to tutor Honoria's younger brother, and has fallen madly in love with Honoria in the process. Bertie comes up with a plan; if all is successful, Honoria will fall in love with Bingo and everyone will be happy.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with Bertie's plans, things don't go as planned. It's up to Jeeves to save the day, which he does by inviting the Glossop parents to Bertie's for tea, where he demonstrates to them that Bertie would be entirely unsuitable as a son-in-law.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Eustace: Now, touching that lunch; you very decently were going to volunteer to stand us.
Bertie: Can't be done, I'm afraid. I've got to have lunch with our Aunt Agatha.
Claude & Eustace: Oh no!
Eustace: Not the nephew crusher!
| Aunt Agatha: Bertie...
Bertie: Aunt Agatha?
Aunt Agatha: It is young men like you who make a person with the future of the race at heart dispair!
| (speaking of Honoria Glossop)
Aunt Agatha: She will mould you!
Bertie: I don't want to be moulded. I'm not a jelly.
Aunt Agatha: That is a matter of opinion.
| Bertie: The only one in the family I know is the girl, Honoria.
Bingo: Oh, Bertie!
Bertie: (looking around, surprised) What?
Bingo: I worship her, Bertie. I worship the very ground she treads on! A tender goddess!
Bertie: Big girl... sporty?
Bingo: Strong and upright and wonderful!
Bertie: Well, yes... it's a matter of... wait a minute! Have you told her?
Bingo: Not yet, I haven't got the nerve. But we walk together in the gardens most evenings, and it sometimes seems to me there's a look in her eye.
Bertie: (muttering to himself) Yes, I know that look... like a Sergeant-Major!
| Bertie: I'm sorry, Jeeves, but when you've been a little longer in my employ, you'll come to understand that all of my chums rely heavily on your employer's wisdom, and knowledge of human nature in the conduct of their affairs.
Jeeves: Just as you say, Sir.
Bertie: Not to mention my organizational powers and just plain... thingness.
| Lady Glossop: My husband is not in the book trade, Mr. Wooster; he is a well-known nerve specialist.
Bertie: Yes, that's what I said. And dashed interesting work it must be too!
Lady Glossop: Do you work, Mr. Wooster?
Bertie: What, work, as in honest toil, you mean?
Lady Glossop: Yes.
Bertie: Hewing the wood and drawing the old wet stuff and so forth?
Lady Glossop: Quite.
Bertie: Well, I've known a few people who've worked. Absolutely swear by it, some of them.
Lady Glossop: But...
Bertie: Boko Fittleworth almost had a job once...
| Lady Glossop: How would you ever support a wife, Mr. Wooster?
Bertie: Well, it depends on whose wife it was. I would've said a gentle pressure beneath the left elbow when crossing a busy street normally fills the bill.
| Lady Glossop: I have been talking to Mr. Wooster.
Honoria: Yes, I saw him. What's he doing here?
Lady Glossop: Mrs. Gregson sent him.
Honoria: What on earth for? He doesn't shoot, he doesn't hunt...
Lady Glossop: It is your birthday next week, Honoria.
Honoria: I hope she didn't send him down as a present! (laughs)
Lady Glossop: (very seriously) You will be twenty-four.
Honoria: (realization dawning) Oh, no!
Lady Glossop: It is a good family, Honoria.
Honoria: Oh, honestly, Mummy, he doesn't work, even!
Lady Glossop: He told me this morning he has been thinking about work.
| Honoria: Bertie was so sweet, Mrs. Gregson, and so funny!
Aunt Agatha: I find it difficult to envisage.
Honoria: I shall be able to make something of him, I'm sure!
Aunt Agatha: Well, he has led a completely wasted life up to the present.
Bertie: I say!
Aunt Agatha: Oh, be quiet, Bertie.
Honoria: But there's a lot of good in him.
Bertie: Ah, no, there isn't, actually.
Honoria: It simply wants bringing out. It's time I took you in hand, Bertie-Wertie. You want someone to look after you.
Bertie: No, I don't. Really, I don't.
Honoria: (laughs) Yes, you do! (kisses his cheek)

Episode Goofs |

"Dogface" Rainsby: Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps, Oofy Simpson, Freddie Chalk-Marshall, the Wooster twins, of course...
This is Rainsby's reply when Bertie asks who is in the bar at the Drones Club; Oofy Simpson seems to be an error on Rainsby's part; the character's name is "Oofy Prosser" and is referred to as such later on in this episode.
