[An elderly woman with grey hair, who has an expression like she might gnaw on glass for an appetizer or shoot laser beams from her eyes or snort fire from her nose dragon-like, appears on the screen.]So this is where my no-good layabout of a nephew has got himself to. Let me tell you right now that the last thing he needs are more wastrel friends

[Oh my god, she's even more terrifying than Mrs Cornelius. Or perhaps just differently terrifying.]

Er. Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm Una Persson, an acquaintance of Mr Wooster.

I assure you that his friends here are quite intent on keeping him from any untoward entanglements.

[helpmejeeves]

Miss Persson, Bertie's taste in friends is questionable at best and I find it difficult to believe that anyone Bertie chooses to associate himself with could have his best interests at heart.

[mrs_persson]

It can happen, ma'am. I for one don't wish to see him in any kind of difficulty.

[needshumility]

Do you happen to know a Mrs DeMauve?

[helpmejeeves]

[She does not, of course, but doesn't want to admit it because it sounds like a good Anglo-Norman name and she prides herself on knowing all the families that are worth knowing.]

Is she of the Yorkshire DeMauve's?

[needshumility]

I don't know where Yorkshire is, but... I don't think so.

You just remind me of someone, that's all.

[A little cold, but she's controlling it.] Do you have some probably with actresses?

[helpmejeeves]

I've heard about the sort of debauchery that goes on in theatre houses. It is not the sort company I want my nephew to keep.

[young_idealist]

Tis as much the fault of the sponsors and the young men, madame. Don't blame the actresses.

I think that may be my favorite description of Parker ever.

[you_run_i_chase]

I think the only fucking harridan here is you.

[perfectnanny]

That is hardly a decent assessment of the people aboard, ma'am.
