* "...the [=McCorkadale=] gave that sniffing snort of hers. It was partly like an escape of steam and partly like two or three cats unexpectedly encountering two or three dogs, with just a suggestion of a cobra waking up cross in the morning. I wondered how it had affected the late Mr [=McCorkadale=]. Probably made him feel that there are worse things than being run over by a municipal tram."

Added DiffLines:

* Bertie's comments on Aunt Dahlia's habit of [[NoIndoorVoice talking loudly]].
--> I believe that she, when in good voice, could be heard in several adjoining counties.
* Bertie's reaction to hearing Ginger is staying with Aunt Dahlia.
--> I uttered a joyful cry, and [Aunt Dahlia] said if I did it again, she would sue me, it having nearly cracked her eardrum. A notable instance of the pot calling the kettle black, as the old saying has it, she having been cracking mine since the start of the proceedings.
* At the end, Bertie gets side-tracked while summing things up.
--> '''Bertie:''' There remains a fly in the ointment, a familiar saying meaning... well, I don't quite know what it does mean. It seems to imply a state of affairs at which one is supposed to look askance, but why, I ask myself, shouldn't flies be in ointment? What harm do they do? And who wants ointment, anyway? But you get what I'm driving at.
* When Jeeves reveals that [[spoiler: Runkle went to prison for bribing a juror]], Aunt Dahlia "revived like a floweret". Bertie adds, "Not that she looks like a floweret, [[CatchPhrase but you know what I mean.]]"
