19 - Without The Option
To cheer up his depressed friend "Sippy" Sipperley Bertie encourages him to steal a policeman's helmet. This lands him in jail while he was expected to stay with the Pringle family. Bertie goes in his place but is found out by Sir Roderick Glossop. On Jeeves' advice Bertie visits Aunt Vera, Sippy's means of financial support, to explain. She takes it all-in good humour, having recently been harassed by Egbert, an overzealous local constable who turns out to be a cousin of Jeeves.
