Don't leave me, Bertie. I'm lost.What do you mean, lost?I came out for a walk and suddenly discovered after a mile or two that I didn't know where on earth I was. I've been wandering round in circles for hours.Why didn't you ask the way?I can't speak a word of French.Well, why didn't you call a taxi?I suddenly discovered I'd left all my money at my hotel.You could have taken a cab and paid it when you got to the hotel.Yes, but I suddenly discovered, dash it, that I'd forgotten its name.And there in a nutshell you have Charles Edward Biffen. As vague and woollen-headed a blighter as ever bit a sandwich.

In the excerpt from P.G. Wodehouse's "Carry on, Jeeves," the character Charles Edward Biffen finds himself completely disoriented during a walk. Despite his attempt to enjoy a stroll, he realizes he has wandered far without knowing where he is, presenting a scenario filled with confusion and frustration. He acknowledges his inability to speak French and admits to not having any money, which further complicates his situation as he struggles to find a way back.

This moment captures Biffen's character as someone who is absent-minded and somewhat inept, unable to handle simple tasks like asking for directions or calling a taxi. Ultimately, he is depicted as a comically lost individual who represents the idea of being overwhelmed by one's surroundings, leading to a situation that illustrates his lack of practical awareness and organization.
