"Very serious, Jeeves."
"I had feared this, sir."
"Had you? I hadn't. I was convinced Thos. would massacre young
Sebastian. I banked on it. It just shows what the greed for money
will do. This is a commercial age, Jeeves. When I was a boy I would
cheerfully have forfeited five quid in order to deal faithfully with a
kid like Sebastian. I would have considered it money well spent."
"You are mistaken, sir, in your estimate of the motives actuating
Master Thomas. It was not a mere desire to win five pounds that caused
him to curb his natural impulses. I have ascertained the true reason
for his change of heart, sir."
