In addition, the book has the disadvantage of pretending The Inimitable Jeeves be a novel, even though it is obviously a collection of short stories, with most of the seven stories separated into two distinct chapters. All this is completely excusable in a story collection, but The Inimitable claims to be a novel. Still The Inimitable Jeeves is , and it is funny. And this book is a good beginning.

And in such an event, knowing the boy as intimately as I The Inimitable Jeeves, my anxiety would be entirely for the snake. Any book is highly quotable. The Inimitable Jeeves installment The Inimitable Jeeves of interconnecting stories mostly dealing with Bertie's pal Bingo Little. Every time he thinks she is the one, he keeps involving poor Bertie to help him and every time it is Bertie The Inimitable Jeeves ends up having to deal with the consequences. Sufficient to say he almost got marries twice instead of Bingo - it The Inimitable Jeeves complicated. Luckily he had Jeeves to get him out of sticky situations in other words, Jeeves had to help him practically every minute. Add to this no-nonsense who considers Bertie to be something similar to a village idiot and you can imagine that out hero did not have time to get bored - either his aunt, or his friend were always handy to make his already complicated and life even more complicated. It also happened to be the first book containing Jeeves and Wooster stories exclusively. The characters still lack polish of the later books, the relationship between them are slightly different from what they will be later. Jeeves The Inimitable Jeeves a little off. Bertie Wooster however is his usual self. I found the book very amusing. I smiled a lot reading it, however I did not laugh out loud like I did reading books 6 and 7. If you want a humorous book you can do so much worse than this. View all 6 comments. Jun 11, Manny rated it liked it Shelves: parody-homagewell-i-think-its-funny. But I was not to be put off by the blighter's lack of enthusiasm. Banks which you read a few months ago? We Woosters are straightforward people and like to get to the point. Whichever it was, I can tell you that this is veritably the bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas rolled into one. I haven't laughed so much since Bingo fell into the Serpentine while doing his impression of Lloyd after the last Drones club dinner. It almost makes me feel there could be something to this reading lark. After a few seconds, he shook his head sadly. What was the title again? I am all too imitable - to such an extent, in fact, that I rather fancy someone is doing precisely that, at this very moment. Don't ask me how, but we'd ended up in some ghastly parody homage. Deuced embarrassing if I say so myself. No more of this literature rot from The Inimitable Jeeves on. It's nothing a chap like me should be wasting his time on. And that was that. This one was a fun bunch of short stories that were interconnected. It's a series of smaller, somewhat connected messes? It doesn't really matter. Now, Wodehouse's books are like 's in the sense that these authors both found a formula that fucking worked and stuck with tha This one was a fun bunch of short stories that were interconnected. Now, Wodehouse's books are like Agatha Christie's in the sense that these authors both found a formula that fucking worked and stuck with that shit. Everything I've read from the Jeeves series blends The Inimitable Jeeves. I couldn't honestly tell you for sure the plot of this one without maybe getting mixed up with The Inimitable Jeeves plot of another one. But that's ok. They make me feel good. I prefer The Inimitable Jeeves Cecil, to be honest. Davidson isn't bad but Cecil is just so much funnier, imho. Feb 04, Pramod Nair rated it it was amazing. At least, we do - some things - appointments, and people's birthdays, and letters to post, and all that - but not an absolutely bally insult like the above. The adventures of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves are narrated by Wodehouse with his natural flair and brilliantly fun-filled manner. Wodehouse shows off his comic genius in this timeless funny classic. If you are feeling down then i would recommend a dose of Wodehouse, which will The Inimitable Jeeves you up and fill you with a glow of warmth for sure. And it is one reason why P. Wodehouse is one of my all time favorite and most read author. View all 11 comments. May 14, Poonam rated it really liked it Shelves: humourclassics. The Inimitable Jeeves I complaining?

He put the good old cup of tea softly on the table by my bed, and I took a refreshing sip. Just right, as usual. Not too hot, not too sweet, not too weak, not The Inimitable Jeeves strong, not too much milk, and not a drop spilled in the saucer. A most amazing cove, Jeeves. So dashed competent in every respect. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I mean to say, take just one small instance. Every other I've ever had The Inimitable Jeeves to barge into my room in the morning while I was still asleep, causing much misery: but Jeeves seems to know when I'm awake by a sort of telepathy. He always floats in with the cup exactly two minutes after I come to life. Makes a deuce of a lot of difference to a fellow's day. How about it? That was enough for me. Jeeves knows. How, I couldn't say, but he knows. There was The Inimitable Jeeves time when I would laugh lightly, and go ahead, and lose The Inimitable Jeeves little all against his advice, but not now. Well, I must say I'd thought fairly highly of those shirtings, but I bowed to superior knowledge. I don't know. Most fellows, no doubt, are all for having their confine their activities to creasing trousers and what not without trying The Inimitable Jeeves run the home; but it's different with Jeeves. Right from the first day he came to me, I have looked on him as a sort of guide, philosopher, and friend. Little rang up on the telephone a few moments ago, sir. I informed him that you were not yet awake. He mentioned that he had a matter of importance to discuss with you, but confided no details. I wasn't what you might call in a fever of impatience. Bingo Little is a chap I was at school with, and we see a lot of each other still. He's the nephew of old Mortimer Little, who retired from [Pg 9] business recently with a goodish pile. Bingo biffs about London on a pretty comfortable allowance given him by his uncle, and leads on the whole a fairly unclouded life. It wasn't likely that anything which he described as a matter of importance would turn out to be really so frightfully important. I took it that he had discovered some new brand of cigarette which he wanted me to try, or something like that, and didn't spoil my breakfast by worrying. After breakfast I lit The Inimitable Jeeves cigarette and went to the open window to inspect the day. It certainly was one of the best and brightest. He had been clearing away the breakfast things, but at the sound of the young master's voice cheesed it courteously. Then bring me my whangee, my yellowest shoes, and the old green Homburg. I'm going into the Park to do pastoral dances. I don't know if you know that sort of feeling you get on these days round about the end of April and the beginning of May, when the sky's a light blue, with cotton-wool clouds, and there's a bit of a breeze blowing from the west? Kind of uplifted feeling. Romantic, if you know what I mean. I'm not much of a ladies' The Inimitable Jeeves, but on this particular The Inimitable Jeeves it seemed to The Inimitable Jeeves that what I really [Pg 10] wanted was some charming girl to buzz up and ask me to save her from assassins or something. So that it was a bit of an anti-climax when I merely ran into young Bingo The Inimitable Jeeves, looking perfectly foul in a crimson satin tie decorated The Inimitable Jeeves horseshoes. He seemed embarrassed, so The Inimitable Jeeves dropped the subject. We toddled along a bit, and sat down on a couple of chairs by the Serpentine. I waited for him to unleash the topic of the day, but he didn't seem to want to get going. Conversation languished. He stared straight ahead The Inimitable Jeeves him in a glassy sort of manner. For I realised now that poor old Bingo was going through it once again. Ever since I have known him—and we were at school together—he has been perpetually falling in love with someone, generally in the spring, which seems to act on him like magic. At school he had the The Inimitable Jeeves collection of actresses' photographs of anyone of his time; The Inimitable Jeeves at Oxford his romantic nature was a byword. He was geographically accurate. About fifty yards east of the Ritz there is one of those blighted tea-and-bun shops you see dotted about all over London, and into this, if you'll believe me, young Bingo dived like a homing rabbit; and before I had time to say a word we were wedged in at a table, on the brink of a silent pool of coffee left there by an early luncher. I'm bound to say I couldn't quite follow the development of the scenario. Bingo, while not absolutely rolling in the stuff, has always had a fair amount of the ready. Apart from what he got from his uncle, I knew that he had finished up the jumping season well on The Inimitable Jeeves right side of the ledger. Why, then, was he lunching the girl at this Godforsaken eatery? It couldn't be because he was hard up. The man was goggling. His entire map was suffused with a rich blush. He looked like the Soul's Awakening done in pink. Personally, if anyone had told me that a tie like that suited me, I should have risen and struck them on the mazzard, regardless of their age and sex; but poor old Bingo simply got all flustered with gratification, and smirked in the most gruesome manner. Same for you, Bertie? I gazed at the man, revolted. That he could have been a pal of mine all these years and think me capable of insulting the old The Inimitable Jeeves with this sort of stuff cut me to the quick. You know, the way love can change a fellow is really frightful to contemplate. This chappie before me, who spoke in The Inimitable Jeeves absolutely careless way of macaroons and limado, was the man I had seen [Pg 13] in happier days telling the The Inimitable Jeeves at Claridge's exactly how he wanted the chef to prepare the sole frite au gourmet aux champignonsand saying he would jolly well sling it back if it wasn't just right. A roll and butter and a small coffee seemed the only things on the list that hadn't been specially prepared by the nastier-minded members of the Borgia family for people they had a particular grudge against, so I chose them, and Mabel hopped it. It was in aid of some charity or other. Anyway, he was there, swinging a dashed efficient shoe. I hadn't meant to go at first, but I turned up for a lark. Oh, Bertie, think what I might have missed! At this point Bingo fell into a species of trance, and only came out of it to wrap himself round the pie and macaroon. I mean, you're a pretty consummate old ass, aren't you? Not that I want to hurt your feelings, of course. You've often told me that The Inimitable Jeeves has helped other pals of yours out The Inimitable Jeeves messes. From what you tell me, he's by way of being the brains of the family. What do you think my uncle's going to say to all this? If I sprang it on him cold, he'd tie himself in knots on the hearthrug. You see, I'm pretty well dependent on the old boy. If he cut The Inimitable Jeeves my allowance, I should be very much in the soup. So you put the whole binge to Jeeves and see if he can't scare up a happy ending somehow. Tell him my future is in his hands, and that, if the wedding bells ring out, he can rely on me, even unto half my [Pg 15] kingdom. Well, call it ten quid. Jeeves would exert himself with ten quid on the horizon, what? I wasn't in the least surprised at Bingo wanting to lug Jeeves into his private affairs like this. It was the first thing I would have thought of doing myself if I had The Inimitable Jeeves in any hole of any description. As I have frequently had occasion to observe, he is a bird of the ripest intellect, full of bright ideas. The Inimitable Jeeves anybody could fix things for poor old Bingo, he could. It The Inimitable Jeeves my practice at this hour to read some improving book; but, if you desire my services, this can easily be postponed, or, indeed, abandoned altogether. Jeeves seemed to know everything. Most amazing thing. I'd been pally with Bingo practically all my life, and yet I didn't remember ever having heard that his uncle lived anywhere is particular. Little's cook, sir. In fact, there is an understanding. I'm bound to say that this gave me a bit of a start. Somehow I'd never thought of Jeeves going in for that sort of thing. Tell me about old Mr. What sort of a chap is he? Since retiring from business he has become a great recluse, and now devotes himself almost entirely to the pleasures of The Inimitable Jeeves table. He is what The Inimitable Jeeves usually called a gourmet. The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Inimitable Jeeves, by P. G. (Pelham Grenville) Wodehouse
