Last evening? That can't be. I'm quite sure I've been here longer than that. Significantly longer. [Bertie's own bewilderment is plastered clearly on his face for all the world to see.]

I didn't think to ask where the ship is going. This Admiral fellow asked me if I'd like to come aboard and he said that if I did I could have anything I wanted. I asked, "Anything? Even that corking purple hat?" And he said yes, and so aboard I came and I've been here for going on over half a year now and I miss you bally awfully, Jeeves.
