In "A Damsel in Distress," a humorous exchange occurs between Lord Marshmoreton and George Bevan. Lord Marshmoreton expresses a desire for George to understand his perspective on a situation. George, while attempting to be accommodating, admits that he can only grasp Lord Marshmoreton's viewpoint vaguely because his own thoughts and concerns dominate his awareness.

This dialogue encapsulates a common struggle in communication, where personal preoccupations can cloud one’s ability to fully appreciate another’s opinions. George’s self-reflection highlights the difficulty of empathy when one's own issues take precedence, making it a relatable moment in Wodehouse's comedic narrative.
