As I slid into my chair at the breakfast table and started to deal with the toothsome eggs and bacon which Jeeves had given of his plenty, I was conscious of a strange exhilaration, if I've got the word right. Pretty good the setup looked to me. Here I was, back in the old familiar headquarters, and the thought that I had seen the last of Totleigh Towers, of Sir Watkyn Bassett, of his daughter Madeline and above all of the unspeakable Spode, or Lord Sidcup as he now calls himself, was like the medium dose for adult of one of those patent medicines which tone the system and impart a gentle glow.

These eggs, Jeeves, I said. Very good. Very tasty.

Yes, sir?

Laid, no doubt, by contented hens. And the coffee, perfect. Nor must I omit to give a word of praise to the bacon. I wonder if you notice anything about me this morning.

You seem in good spirits, sir.

Yes, Jeeves, I am happy today.

I am very glad to hear it, sir.

You might say I'm sitting on top of the world with a rainbow round my shoulder.

A most satisfactory state of affairs, sir.
