Sauce Template Number 56 December 2010 Two Wodehouse Letters – via Sri Lanka by Mahendra Gonsalkorale he Editor writes: With the publication next year of a new book of Wodehouse letters, edited by Sophie Ratcliffe, it seems particularly fitting that we should receive word of two previously unknown letters that PTGW wrote to Captain Dennis P. Cooray, a naval officer who is now retired and lives in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Though the letters shed no earth-shattering light on Wodehouse’s life and work, they are nonetheless of great interest, particularly given the time they were written. On the next page, Captain Cooray’s friend, Mahendra Gonsalkorale, tells the story of how the letters came to his – and the Society’s – attention. Wooster Sauce – December 2010 eaders of Wooster Sauce are familiar wRith Plum’s worldwide appeal and won’t be unduly surprised by the story that I am about to relate. It begins some years ago, when I was fortunate enough to be given a splendid collection of Wodehouse books by This page and next: extracts from the first letter of September 21, 1945 Dammi Kottegoda, the widow of my old professor in Sri Lanka. Prof Kotte (as have the letters photocopied . They met at the Captain’s we fondly called him) had wanted them to go to a Colombo residence , where he handed over the letters and genuine fan, and Dammi (my brother Raj’s mother-in- his press cuttings for photocopying . law), learned that I was an incurable Plum addict. To this Wodehouse was based in France at the time he wrote day, I regard this gift as the strongest evidence of the to Captain Cooray . In the first letter , dated September 21, existence of someone up there who considers me in a 1946, he refers to the fact that he would be back in the favourable light. USA were it not for the shipping strike there . He also makes some amusing observations about his books and characters: “A thing that has relieved me greatly is that both Money In The Bank and Joy In The Morning have sold a good many thousands better than To add to my good fortune, Dammi revealed that anything I have ever had published in spite of the fact their family friend, Captain Dennis Cooray, was also a that the world they deal with has absolutely PGW fan and that he was the proud possessor of some disappeared .” A full 64 years later, they are still selling letters he had received from Plum in the post-war years . well , testimony to the timeless appeal of the Wodehouse Captain Cooray was only too pleased to meet a fellow style of humour. addict and very proudly showed me the letters and also On Lord Emsworth, he wrote, “As for Blandings some related newspaper cuttings he had kept.

They are written in his normal chatty vogue. I liked his comments on what he thought of his early school stories and of how he was still churning out the work in those difficult years for him in the mid- 1940s. Also his comments about Lord Emsworth living in a cottage are amusing.” While there is nothing startling or new in these two letters, I believe they offer a fascinating glimpse into Plum’s life and character. His readiness to reply to fan mail from any part of the world, his love of peace and tranquillity, and his amazing ability to absorb himself in his writing are just some of the characteristics that distinguish him from other writers. Dinner 2010! On October 28, the Society enjoyed its seventh biennial dinner in the glorious surroundings of Gray’s Inn. It was joy in the evening as we browsed, sluiced, and laughed the hours away, revelling in delicious food and drink, sparkling conversation, and a superb entertainment.

  • Jeeves in the Offing
    P. G. Wodehouse Jeeves in the Offing (1960) Jeeves in the Offing Chapter 1 Jeeves placed the sizzling eggs and b. on the breakfast table, and Reginald (’Kipper’) Herring and I, licking the lips, squared our elbows and got down to it. A lifelong buddy of mine, this Her­ ring, linked to me by what are called imperishable memories. Years ago, when striplings, he and I had done a stretch together at Malvern House, Bramley-on-Sea, the preparatory school conducted by that prince of stinkers, Aubrey Upjohn MA, and had frequently stood side by side in the Upjohn study awaiting the receipt of six of the juiciest from a cane of the type that biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder, as the fellow said. So we were, you might say, rather like a couple of old sweats who had fought shoulder-to-shoulder on Crispin’s Day, if I’ve got the name right. The plat du jour having gone down the hatch, accompanied by some fluid ounces of strengthen­ ing coffee, I was about to reach for the marmalade, when I heard the telephone tootling out in the hall and rose to attend to it. ‘Bertram Wooster’s residence,’ I said, having connected with the instrument. ‘Wooster in person at this end. Oh hullo,’ I added, for the voice that boomed over the wire was that of Mrs. Thomas Portarlington Travers of Brinkley Court, Market Snodsbury, near Droitwich—or, putting it another way, my good and deserving Aunt Dahlia. ‘A very hearty pip-pip to you, old ancestor,’ I said, well- pleased, for she is a woman with whom it is always a privilege to chew the fat.

  • The Peterite
    THE PETERITE ol. LXIV OCTOBER, 1973 No. 389 Edited by D. G. Cummin, J.P., M.A. EDITORIAL The Labour Party has been at it again : another plan for education; Ior rather, the usual plan by which nobody does better than anybody else, but presented by a different spokesman, sometimes known as the Shadow Minister for Education, a title that would surely have delighted W. S. Gilbert. Perhaps he would have given us an opera called 'Equality" or "Labour in vain;" Commentator: In politics he made a small sensation As Shadow Minister for Education; He planned to stultify the British Nation By stopping any chance of elevation. Chorus of Dolts: Here comes, with Axe, and Policy sinister, Our Comprehensive Shadow Minister. The Plan is heavy with progress; nearly everybody will be able to start being educated at the age of three and go on to at least eighteen, although at present this formidable prospect will not be compulsory. There will of course be more and better teachers; well, more anyway. parents, while losing almost any right to decide how their children are o be educated, will have a small voice in the running of the schools, because the Plan says : "We shall make governing and managing bodies of schools more representative of parents, teachers, and, where appro- riate, pupils—and give them more power." Predictably the Direct Grant hools are again destined for destruction, and, says the Plan, "Our aim to abolish fee-paying in schools and to bring all children of compulsory chool age into the national education system." This is heady stuff, cloth cap and all; and to bring every child into e state system is a bold move towards equality; but is the intention to aise the general level? If not, it is an aim without principle.

Wodehouse forums, although there may be some overlap. This document provides two handy indexes to the names already in use; the first set is sorted by last name; the second is sorted by nom de Plum to the extent practicable (I’ve moved “A,” “An,” and “The” to the end of the nom, but otherwise sorting is on the first word of the nom). Note: At the end of the first group of names is another, smaller one. These are the names of our fellow PGWnet members who have “Gone to Blandings” before us. Their noms are permanently retired, in fond memory of the people who used them. In the second group their names are flagged with †. Also, please don’t automatically assume that if a nom is not on this list, it is available for use. The most up-to-date list lives under the pillow of the Master of the List of Noms de Plum, George Bevan. Send your nom request to [email protected] and if your nom is available, you will receive an email verification that it is yours, along with a certificate suitable for framing.
