In this excerpt from "The Gem Collector" by P.G. Wodehouse, Jimmy inquires about a man named Wesson, signaling a curiosity about his identity. Molly's nonchalant response suggests that she may not have a strong opinion or detailed knowledge of Wesson, leaving Jimmy somewhat unsatisfied with the vague information provided.

Jimmy's comment about Wesson’s inability to hear implies a level of disdain or indifference towards him. This interaction highlights Jimmy's critical nature and adds a layer of complexity to his character, showcasing his desire for clarity in social relationships, even when the other party may not share the same interest.
