This is from the book of P.G. Wodehouse stories I'm currently reading. This isn't his best collection and this is a story that I didn't think measured up to his admittedly very high bar, but it shows that even mediocre Wodehouse is rewarding.
He's describing "a melancholy-looking man. He had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life's gas-pipe with a lighted candle". I did giggle at that.
