Lord Peter Wimsey : This bowtie is a mess.
Bunter : Yes, too perfect. Quite like a made-up affair.
[Wimsey pulls off the tie and begins to re-tie it]
Bunter : Ah.
Lord Peter Wimsey : Bunter, what does "ah" mean?
Bunter : I have observed, my lord, that on the few occasions when our sangfroid slips, it means we have a rendezvous with Miss Vane.
Lord Peter Wimsey : Bunter, you have a wonderful gift for impudence.
Bunter : Thank you, my lord.
[Wimsey finishes re-tying]
Lord Peter Wimsey : Bunter, how's that?
Bunter : Perfect. That is to say, slightly flawed. The mark of a true gentleman.
