Bertie old man I say Bertie could you possibly come down here at once. Everything gone wrong hang it all. Dash it Bertie you simply must come. I am in a state of absolute despair and heart-broken. Would you mind sending another hundred of those cigarettes. Bring Jeeves when you come Bertie. You simply must come Bertie. I rely on you. Don't forget to bring Jeeves. Bingo. For a chap who's perpetually hard-up, I must say that young Bingo is the most wasteful telegraphist I ever struck. He's got no notion of condensing. The silly ass simply pours out his wounded soul at twopence a word, or whatever it is, without a thought.
Bingo is in dire straits and urgently calls for Bertie's assistance, expressing his despair and heartbreak over his current situation. He pleads for Bertie to come quickly, emphasizing the necessity of bringing Jeeves along, who he believes will be helpful. Bingo's state of turmoil hints at troubles that require immediate attention, showcasing his reliance on Bertie's support.
The narrator reflects on Bingo's tendency to waste words when he writes, highlighting his lack of brevity in telegrams. Despite his financial struggles, Bingo seems unable to communicate efficiently, leading to an amusing portrayal of his character as a “wounded soul” who overspends on telegrams while seeking help from friends. This combination of desperation and wastefulness adds to the lighthearted tone of the narrative.
