What ho!' I said. 'What ho!' said Motty. 'What ho! What ho!' 'What ho! What ho! What ho!' After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation.
In this excerpt from P.G. Wodehouse's "Carry on, Jeeves," two characters engage in a playful exchange, repeating the phrase "What ho!" This repetitive banter highlights their lightheartedness and the absurdity of the moment, suggesting a jovial camaraderie between them.
However, despite the initial excitement, the conversation becomes stagnant as they struggle to move beyond this amusing expression. This illustrates how their mutual enthusiasm can lead to a humorous yet awkward pause, emphasizing the charming silliness that characterizes Wodehouse's writing.
