“I want to see the manager." "Is there anything I could do, sir?" Archie looked at him doubtfully. "Well, as a matter of fact, my dear old desk-clerk," he said, "I want to kick up a fearful row, and it hardly seems fair to lug you into it. Why you, I mean to say? The blighter whose head I want on a charger is the bally manager.””

“But he has. Much funnier." In a way it was a sort of compliment, but Archie felt embarrassed. He withdrew coyly into the cushioned recess.””
— P. G. Wodehouse
