From "EXTRICATING YOUNG GUSSIE" by P.G. Wodehouse She sprang it on me before breakfast. There in seven words you have a complete

character sketch of my Aunt Agatha. I could go on indefinitely about brutality and lack of consideration. I merely say that she routed me out of bed to listen to her painful story somewhere in the small hours. It can't have been half past eleven when Jeeves, my man, woke me out of the dreamless and broke the news: 'Mrs Gregson to see you, sir.' I thought she must be walking in her sleep, but I crawled out of bed and got into a dressing-gown. I knew Aunt Agatha well enough to know that, if she had come to see me, she was going to see me. That's the sort of woman she is. She was sitting bolt upright in a chair, staring into space. When I came in she looked at me in that darn critical way that always makes me feel as if I had gelatin where my spine ought to be. Aunt Agatha is one of those strong-minded women. I should think Queen Elizabeth must have been something like her. She bosses her husband, Spencer Gregson, a battered little chappie on the Stock Exchange. She bosses my cousin, Gussie Mannering-Phipps. She bosses her sister-in-law, Gussie's mother. And, worst of all, she bosses me. She has an eye like a man-eating fish, and she has got moral suasion down to a fine point. I dare say there are fellows in the world—men of blood and iron, don't you know, and all that sort of thing—whom she couldn't intimidate; but if you're a chappie like me, fond of a quiet life, you simply curl into a ball when you see her coming, and hope for the best. My experience is that when Aunt Agatha wants you to do a thing you do it, or else you find yourself wondering why those fellows in the olden days made such a fuss when they had trouble with the Spanish Inquisition. 'Halloa, Aunt Agatha!' I said 'Bertie,' she said, 'you look a sight. You look perfectly dissipated.' I was feeling like a badly wrapped brown-paper parcel. I'm never at my best in the early morning. I said so. 'Early morning! I had breakfast three hours ago, and have been walking in the park ever since, trying to compose my thoughts.' If I ever breakfasted at half past eight I should walk on the Embankment, trying to end it all in a watery grave. 'I am extremely worried, Bertie. That is why I have come to you.' And then I saw she was going to start something, and I bleated weakly to Jeeves to bring me tea. But she had begun before I could get it. 'What are your immediate plans, Bertie?' 'Well, I rather thought of tottering out for a bite of lunch later on, and then possibly staggering round to the club, and after that, if I felt strong enough, I might trickle off to Walton Heath for a round of golf.' 'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?' I scented danger. 'Rather,' I said. 'Heaps! Millions! Booked solid!' Read this excerpt from the passage and answer the question that follows. 'What are your immediate plans, Bertie?' 'Well, I rather thought of tottering out for a bite of lunch later on, and then possibly staggering round to the club, and after that, if I felt strong enough, I might trickle off to Walton Heath for a round of golf.' 'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?' I scented danger. 'Rather,' I said. 'Heaps! Millions! Booked solid!'

The answer is Aunt Agatha does not consider Bertie's day-to-day activities to be very important.

In the excerpt from "Extricating Young Gussie," by P.G. Wodehouse, the narrator makes clear that Aunt Agatha does not take into account Bertie's daily plans. She is used to controlling everyone in her family and getting away with it.

Answer:

Aunt Agatha does not consider Bertie's day-to-day activities to be very important.

Explanation:

The paragraph shown in the above question shows Aunt Agatha as a very controlling and difficult person. She acts as if her own opinions and judgments about people are the only thing that matters in life. Because of Aunt Agatha's controlling and judgmental personality, she totally ignores Bertie's daily activities, and acts as if Bertie's activities were unnecessary and unimportant. We can see that in Aunt Agatha's phrase after she listens to Bertie talk about her activities for that day. Aunt Agatha says:  'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?'

Why is emotional intelligence important
scoundrel [369]

In fact, when it comes to gauging job candidates, many companies now view emotional intelligence as being as important as technical ability and require EQ testing before hiring.

Ghella [55]

A major goal of taking research notes is D. <u>Neither of these choices.</u>

A research note simply means a small, preliminary study of observation. It should be noted that a research note contains a report that can depict a particular <em>observation</em> that was done.

The goal of taking <em>research notes</em> is to record the key points in the observation or the important information. A research note isn't taken to separate your own words or images from that of someone else.
