That is truly one Wodehouse sentence, but the One True Wodehouse
sentence is, "Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of
the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there crept a look of furtive shame, the
shifty, hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to talk
French."

And the best part of it all is, there _is_ no single, greatest Wodehouse
sentence. _All_ his stuff is like this.
