not more than ten days later, bertie sees a marriage announcement in "the times" for biffy and honoria glossop. bertie pities biffy. jeeves, however, does not show any sympathy. about a week later, in london, bertie is visited by biffy, who asks how bertie got out of his engagement to honoria. jeeves is unwilling to help, so bertie comes up with a plan: biffy will use a bouquet version of a squirting flower on glossop, making glossop doubt his sanity and forbid the marriage. bertie brings the bouquet to biffy and explains his plan. glossop soon arrives. while the three each lunch, glossop says that honoria asked biffy to bring biffy to the british empire exhibition. biffy gets bertie to come as well. biffy loses his nerve, and does not squirt glossop.
