89. Ink

As Mr. Wooster entered I found myself regretting that I ever let him leave. "Oh sir."

"Don't make noises like that Jeeves. It is clear now. Is it clear to you?"

"No sir." Tentatively, I moved to take his ruined clothes.

"It is clear," he continued, "that children are the little valets and valetas of the devil."

"I do not believe 'valeta' is a word-"

"A pack of them attacked - out of nowhere!"

"What did they do sir?"

He slumped, dripping on the carpet.

"There were 99 bottles of ink on the wall Jeeves, now they're on Bertram Wooster."
