I’ll agree this is an easy one if / when my answer is deemed correct. I’ve been sucked into thinking “of course, what else could it be?“ and then found it was indeed something else! 😁

I got "he's not in there". I'd be unlikely to say "he's out of there" so that one didn't occur to me.

Thanks rox for your hhehelp. The copy was too small to read on my phone, I expanded it a bit and used a magnifying glass but it was too fuzzy to read well, but I think that itits it's the heading at the top left. Last night I looked through the list of topics and could not find the K T anywhere. I've had two links to Houzz on Yahoo, one with several topics, the other only "The kitchen table". If that failed, would I be banished, as I could not find it listed anywhere on the list of topics? Then I remembered that long ago I came by putting "ths..gardenweb..com" as the address. But then I wondered whether the "ths" would be a deterent, as it appears that the "Home Forum" is no longer in use. Thank you for your help, rox and KW PNW. ole joyful P.S. oh, ddeath drat- they're listing me by that darned number, again! (Mr. editor - would you go for a nap, please?). o j

KW, my husband has pretty much every book written by Wodehouse. Almost one hundred, I think. I’d have to go count. He’s been collecting them his whole life. I’ve read most of them, and that phrase just stood out in my mind. I scanned the stories about Lord Emsworth as I felt that would be the perfect spot to use that phrase. There it was. Husband’s messy den.🤠
