v) Is from Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves:


I gave him the hat. It made me feel like a father reluctantly throwing his child from the sledge to divert the attention of the pursuing wolf pack, as I believe happens all the time in Russia in the winter months, but what would you?
"You propose to burn this Alpine hat, Jeeves?"
"No, sir. To present it to Mr Butterfield. He thinks it will be of assistance to him in his courtship."


Mr Butterfield is apparently '104' years old.
