In this 1968 letter to Ray Gibbons, Wodehouse describes his approach to making a story memorable: 

“You have to make a story dramatic.  You can’t just announce at the end that a lost letter has been discovered, you must have a scene showing it being discovered, because this is the high spot of the story and simply can’t happen off stage.”
