"Just so. Uncle George avoided the old ball and chain his whole life, so now he has no sons to pass down old Yaxley title. Wooster B. is next in line. Uncle George is fit as a fiddle, however, and isn't likely to top off any time soon, thank goodness."
Bertie is much happier not having any responsibilities, and owning a drafty old country manse looks like work.
"Agincourt is in France, I think. Except it was supposed to be part of England, and people were dashed mad about it and arguing about who was king of what so they fought a war." Bertie's grasp of history is shaky. He mostly knows that Agincourt is Important because it means that Woosters are an old family, and that matters to the Aunts who constantly told him about the Wooster at Agincourt while he was growing up.
