In this story, an engagingly vague Lord Emsworth battles to prevent a pig-napping, Lord Tillbury lurks, desperate to filch Gally Threepwood’s sensational memoirs, and those formidable sisters, Julia and Constance, will do anything to sabotage the nuptials of Ronnie Fish and chorus girl Sue. Also thrown into the proverbial mix are: Parsloe-Parsloe, Monty Bodkin and Percy Pilbeam. Confused? So is Beach the butler, drawn into events by a heady cocktail of loyalty and self-interest. But surely, the storm will conk out and the thunder will grumble away…This is Wodehouse’s comic genius at its most magical, so expect sunshine - and even a bally rainbow - when the weather lightens and all the confusions of the castle are finally resolved. Pip, pip! Martin Jarvis inhabits this masterpiece of cross-purposes with dazzling vocal dexterity, adding another laugh-out-loud performance to his many Wodehouse readings. “Quite simply a pleasure and delight from start to finish.” audiobooksreview.co.uk.

In this sequel to Summer Lightning the love lives of Blandings Castle's inhabitants once again depend on the scandalous memoirs of Galahad Threepwood. The Honourable Galahad Threepwood tries to safeguard the marriage of his nephew Ronnie Fish to Sue Brown by ensuring that his scandalous memoirs do not reach the market. Click here to see the rest of this review. Best part of story, including ending: As always with Wodehouse it is the wonderfully funny prose and dialogue that makes it. Best scene in story: Galahad facing down his sisters Constance and Julia with threats of terrible stories in his unpublished memoirs, is a very funny scene. Opinion about the main character: Galahad is an older man who not only remembers his youth but enjoys the youth of others and is always there to assist young love. “Heavy Weather” – a Blandings novel by PG Wodehouse. The six Blandings Castle novels by PG Wodehouse in my Folio Society edition are: Summer Lightning Heavy Weather Uncle Fred in the Springtime Full Moon Service with a smile. I have previously reviewed those highlighted in the bold italics that indicate links to other posts on this site. Heavy Weather by PG Wodehouse. I particularly enjoyed in Heavy Weather the gradual increase in all-round absurdity in the love triangle between Ronnie, Sue and Monty Bodkin. Ronnie and Sue are crazed with love for one another. Monty is a rather Bertie Wooster-ish sort of fellow who arouses Ronnie’s jealousy. The ability of The Hon. Galahad Threepwood or Gally, Lord Emsworth’s younger brother, to resolve every manner of looming catastrophe is worthy of the great Jeeves himself. The plot around Gally’s memoirs, and their incendiary contents about the youthful misdemeanours of the entire British establishment, is elegant. I was disappointed by their fate at the end of the book (no spoilers) – and still hope, one day, to see them published. 22 laugh-out-loud quotations from Heavy Weather by PG Wodehouse. Cooled by the shade of the cedar, refreshed by the contents of the amber glass in which ice tinkled so musically when he lifted it to his lips, the Hon. Galahad, at the moment of Lord Emsworth’s arrival, had achieved a Nirvana-like repose. Storms might be raging elsewhere in the grounds of Blandings Castle, but here on the lawn there was peace – the perfect unruffled peace of those who have done nothing whatever to deserve it. The Hon. Galahad Threepwood, in his fifty-seventh year, was a dapper little gentleman on whose grey but still thickly covered head the weight of a consistently misspent life rested lightly… It was a standing mystery to all who knew him that one who had had such an extraordinarily good time all his life should, in the evening of that life, be so superbly robust. [Galahad] ‘No healthy person really needs food. If people would only stick to drinking, doctors would go out of business. I can state you a case that proves it… Old Freddie Potts… lived almost entirely on Scotch whisky, and in the year ’98 this prudent habit saved him from an exceedingly unpleasant attack of hedgehog poisoning.’ ‘My name’s Sue Brown,’ said Sue, wishing that she could have achieved a vocal delivery a little more impressive than that of a very young, startled mouse. [Beach the Butler] ‘Perhaps you would prefer me to bring you an aperitif in advance of the formal cocktails?’ [Ronnie] ‘I certainly should. I’m dying by inches.’ [Beach] ‘I will attend to the matter immediately.’ The butler of Blandings Castle was not a man who when he said ‘immediately’ meant ‘somewhere in the distant future’. Like a heavyweight jinn, stirred to activity by the rubbing of a lamp, he vanished and reappeared; and it was only a few minutes later that Ronnie was blooming like a flower in the gentle rain of summer and finding himself disposed for leisurely chat. ‘Honestly, Ronnie, I know it hurts your head to think, but try to just for a moment.’ Sir Gregory was not a man of the build that leaps from chairs, but he had levered himself out of the one he sat in with an animation that almost made the thing amount to a leap. Beach walked slowly away across the lawn. His head was bowed, his heart heavy. It was a moment when a butler of spirit should have worn something of the gallant air of a soldier commissioned to carry despatches through the enemy’s lines. Beach did not look like that. he resembled far more nearly in his general demeanour one of those unfortunate gentlemen in railway-station waiting-rooms who, having injudiciously consented at four-thirty to hold a baby for a strange woman, look at the clock and see that it is now six-fifteen and no relief in sight. The ideal towards with the City Fathers of all English country towns strive is to provide a public house for each individual inhabitant; and those of Market Blandings had not been supine in this matter. [Beach] plunged into a droll anecdote about the Bishop of Bognor when an undergraduate at Oxford, and despite his cares was soon chuckling softly, like some vast kettle coming to the boil. [Beach] Rising with the manuscript clutched to the small of his back, if his back could be said to have a small… Too often, when a man of Monty Bodkin’s mental powers is plunged in thought, nothing happens at all.

  • Index to Plum Lines 1980–2020
    INDEX TO PLUM LINES 1980–2020 Guide to the Index: While there are all sorts of rules and guidelines on the subject of indexing, virtually none can be applied to the formidable task of indexing Plum Lines (and its predecessor, Comments in Passing), the quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society, which was founded in 1980. Too many variables confront the task’s indexer—not to mention a few too many errors in how issues were numbered over the years (see Index to the Index, below). Consequently, a new sort of index has been created in such a way (we hope) as to make it as easy as possible to use. Following are some guidelines. 1. Finding what you want: Whatever you are looking for, it should be possible to find it using our handy-dandy system of cross-referencing: • SUBJECTS are in BOLD CAPS followed by a list of the relevant articles. (See the list of Subject Headings, below.) • Authors and Contributors (note that some articles have both an author and a contributor) are listed in uppercase-lowercase bold, last name first, with a list of articles following the name. • Regular columns are simply listed in bold under their own titles rather than under a subject heading. 2. Locating the listed article: Any article listed in the index is followed by a series of numbers indicating its volume number, issue number, and page number. For example, one can find articles on Across the pale parabola: 14.2.17; 15.4.13 in Volume 14, Number 2, Page 17 and Volume 15, Number 4, Page 13.

Wodehouse Conquers Sweden by Bengt Malmberg n 1964, in a letter to Georg Svensson, chief editor of Ithe publishing house Bonniers, Wodehouse wrote: I am glad of this opportunity to tell you how grateful I am to you for all the trouble you have taken to put me over with the Swedish public. I am so intensely spiritual that money means nothing to me, but I must confess that the cheques that Mr. Watt sends me for my Swedish sales do give me a gentle thrill. Whenever a book of mine is going what my publisher calls “slowly” in the USA, I cheer up because I know that everything is going to be all right in Sweden, thanks to you. In 2012 we celebrated 100 years of Wodehouse in the Swedish language.
