In P.G. Wodehouse's "Right Ho, Jeeves," the character makes a humorous observation about throwing bricks in crowded places without risking harm to girls who are not sensitive to their societal expectations. This exaggeration highlights the absurdity of social norms and the quirks of British society in the context of romance and marriage.
The quote serves to illustrate the comedic tension in the story, where characters navigate their relationships in a world that often prioritizes appearances and societal approval over genuine connection. Wodehouse masterfully blends satire with humor, showcasing the peculiarities of love and courtship in the early 20th century.
