"The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves.

The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in October 1922, and then in Cosmopolitan in New York in November 1922.

[1] The story features Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace Wooster, who are expelled from university and sent to South Africa.

Aunt Agatha visits Bertie and tells him his cousins Claude and Eustace, who have been expelled from Oxford, are being sent to work in South Africa.

Bertie tries to hide their failure to depart from Aunt Agatha, who tells him that his Uncle George was shocked by seeing Eustace on the street.

Bertie relays this to Claude and Eustace, who wear false noses and moustaches to avoid being recognized.
