I had just come from seeing dear old Rocky off to his country cottage, and an hour before he had seen his aunt off to whatever hamlet it was that she was the curse of; so we were alone at last.
'Jeeves, there's no place like home – what?'
'Very true, sir.'
Carry On, Jeeves. 5 The Aunt and the Sluggard
'Not too bad. But I'm glad to be home. What was it the fellow said about home?'
'If your allusion is to the American poet John Howard Payne, sir, he compared it to its advantage with pleasures and palaces. He called it sweet and said there was no place like it.'
'And he wasn't so far out. Shrewd chap, John Howard Payne.'
'I believe he gave uniform satisfaction, sir.'
Plum Pie. 1 Jeeves and the Greasy Bird
