The clock struck half past eleven in the evening. At this time Jeeves and Bertie are visited by one of Bertie’s relatives, Aunt Agatha. This forces a standing Jeeves to go to the sleeping Bertie and wake him up. Because Agatha urgently wanted to talk to her nephew.

Because of this, Bertie had to get up and listen to his aunt. The woman is in a sad mood because of the adventures of her other nephew, August Mannering-Fipps, who is now in the New World in New York. She is discouraged by the fact that he has fallen in love with a girl, Ray Denison. What her nephew’s sweetheart does is act in vaudeville.

When Agatha found out about this, her disappointment was overwhelming. She clutched her head and began to think about how much it would affect the image of the entire family. The British woman does not want Augustus to marry a commoner who plays in the low genres of theater productions. She asks Bertie to go to New York and prevent Gussie and Rae from marrying.
