The Code of the Woosters ‧ 1938
It is no use telling me there are bad aunts and good aunts. At the core, they are all alike. Sooner or later, out pops the cloven hoof.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A comic complaint that all aunts, whether they seem kind or fierce, share the same hidden nature. The 'cloven hoof' is an old image for a devil's true self showing, so the joke is that eventually every aunt reveals something wicked.
