Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P.G. Wodehouse
4.0
bertie, on the "The Maiden Eggesford Horror - or possibly The Curious Case Of The Cat Which Kept Popping Up When Least Expected":
I should have to check with Jeeves, but I think the word to describe the way I slept that night is 'fitfully'. I turned and twisted like an adagio dancer, and no wonder, for what I have heard Jeeves call 'the fell clutch of circumstance' which was clutching me was not the ordinary fell clutch which can be wriggled out of by some simple ruse such as going on a voyage round the world and not showing up again till things have blown over.

to add to the "insults given to bertie wooster" compendium:
"It's an extraordinary thing; anyone looking at you would write you off as a brainless nincompoop with about as much intelligence as a dead rabbit."
