Having arrived at Brinkley Court Bertie meets with Aunt Dahlia who tells him what the row between Angela and Tuppy entailed: while Angela was recounting how she was being attacked by a shark when aquaplaining in the Cannes seawaters Tuppy played down her experience to the point that she got furious at his lack of empathy. The resulting altercation resulted in their breaking up. At that point Aunt Dahlia wanted help to get them out of the situation - from Jeeves. Bertie, cross with Jeeves because he purposefully did not pack his new white French dinner jacket, tells her that Jeeves is out of touch and that he himself is better equipped to clear up the relational mess, with which Aunt Dahlia vehemently disagrees. Bertie goes out for a walk in the garden and meets Tuppy.
