Jeeves and the Tie that Binds
Hardcover
By P.G. Wodehouse
| Quote: | "Of course, if you were to release the club book --"
"I fear I cannot do that, sir."
"No, I told Ginger you regarded it as a sacred trust. Then nothing can be done except to urge you to get the old brain working."
"I will certainly do my utmost, sir."
"No doubt something will eventually emerge. Keep eating lots of fish. And meanwhile stay away from Ginger as much as possible, for he is in an ugly modd."
"I quite understand, sir. Stockish, hard and full of rage."
"Shakespeare?"
"Yes, sir. His Merchant of Venice."
"I left him then, pleased at having got one right for a change, and headed for the drawing room, hoping for another quiet go at Rex Stout which the swirling rush of events had forced me to abandon. I was, however, too late. The old ancestor was on the chaise longue with it in her grasp, and I knew that I had small chance of wresting it from her. No one who has got his or her hooks on a Rex Stout lightly lets it go. (-- pgs. 138-139) |

From China Gambles:
Charlie Chan at the Olympics
DVD
With Swedish actor Warner Oland as Chan, Sr. and
Keye Luke as Chan, Jr.
| Quote: | Chan's No. 1 son, Jimmy, a contender in the 100-metre swim at the 1936 Summer Olympics and detective wanna-be, learns that Pop Charlie made a surreptitious switcheroo to obtain the highly coveted mystery invention presumably intended as a de-coder of war intelligence.
Chan, Jr.: But when did you get it, Pop?
Sr.: Took opportunity to acquire same during excitement in girls' dormitory.
Jr. Then no wonder you weren't worried when Hopkins got away.
Sr. Important lesson for good detective. When all players hold suspicious cards, good idea to have a joker up sleeve. |
