Bertie is clarifying Chuffy's plan to use Jeeves as a go-between for Chuffy and Pauline Stoker.
"'He can take a letter from you to her and then one from her to you and then one from you to her and then one from her to you and then one from you to her and then one...'

'Yes, yes. You've got the idea.'"
Thank You, Jeeves

Pauline Stoker is telling Bertie what Jeeves had to say about him.
"'He spoke most highly of you.'
'Really?'

'Oh, yes, he thinks a lot of you. I remember his very words. "Mr Wooster, miss," he said, "is, perhaps, mentally somewhat negligible, but he has a heart of gold."'"
Thank You, Jeeves

'Or "Crumbs!"?'

'No, sir.'
