I knew what it felt like. I was once in love myself with a girl called Elizabeth Shoolbred, and the fact that she couldn't stand me at any price will be recorded in my autobiography.
In P.G. Wodehouse's "My Man Jeeves," the narrator reflects on personal experiences of love, particularly a past relationship with a girl named Elizabeth Shoolbred. He humorously notes that her inability to tolerate him will be a memorable point in his autobiography, highlighting the bittersweet essence of unrequited love.
This observation encapsulates the charm and wit typical of Wodehouse's writing. It reveals the complexities of love, where affection can be met with indifference, and suggests that such experiences, even when painful, can be significant enough to warrant a place in one's life story.
