In P.G. Wodehouse's "Doctor Sally," a group of characters finds themselves in a frantic situation where they need to revive a fainted woman named Marie. Each character suggests a different remedy, showcasing their varied personalities and humorous approaches to problem-solving. The bell-boy proposes vinegar as a solution, while Bill suggests a fragrant cologne. Lord Tidmouth offers increasingly absurd ideas, from slapping her hands to the extreme of sitting on her head.

Amidst this chaotic scene, Mary offers the most sensible solution, urging the group to give the woman some fresh air. However, the bell-boy echoes her advice, indicating the confusion and a mix of seriousness and comedy in their attempts to help Marie. The humorous dialogue illustrates the characters' desperation and highlights Wodehouse's clever use of wit, bringing humor into what could be a tense moment.
