I don't want to wrong anybody, so I won't go so far as to say that she actually wrote poetry, but her conversation, to my mind, was of a nature calculated to excite the liveliest of suspicions. Well, I mean to say, when a girl suddenly asks you out of a blue sky if you don't sometimes feel that the stars are God's daisy-chain, you begin to think a bit.

In P.G. Wodehouse's "Right Ho, Jeeves," the narrator observes a peculiar quality in a girl’s conversation that raises his curiosity. He hesitates to assert that she writes poetry but acknowledges that her words possess a poetic charm. This intriguing dialogue prompts him to contemplate the depth of her thoughts and feelings.

When she unexpectedly asks whether the stars might be seen as a "daisy-chain" created by God, it captures his attention and leads him to reflect more profoundly on the nature of her perspective. This moment illustrates how unexpected questions can challenge one's view of reality and inspire deeper contemplation.
