hotel perches is liberally dotted with oil. Our roo ms were decorated
in that nasty hotel pinky-orange, with lots of nylon ruffles, and
smelt damply off-season. But I knew everything was going to be all
right when, rifling dismally through the dressing-table drawer, I
came across room laundry details from "Jeeves", who seemed to assume
that normal garments to be laundered would be "pyjama suits", "safari
suits (shorts)" and "safari suits (long)".
