With Gussie waiting, Bertie kills his hangover with one of Jeeves' specials while being informed about Gussie's last night experience: he had given the cab driver a wrong address, and when arriving there discovered he had no money on him. When running away from the driver who wanted his pay he lost his raincoat that the driver held on to, leaving him aghast at Gussie's Mephistopheles costume. He finally made it to "Sippy" Sipperley's house where he stayed the night and changed his clothes. Bertie points out that this was all Jeeves' fault for having him don the devil's costume, before letting Gussie in.
