Inaddition, the book has the disadvantage ofpretendingThe Inimitable Jeeves be a novel, eventhoughit is obviouslya collectionofshort stories, withmost ofthe sevenstories separated into two distinct chapters.

Allthis is completelyexcusable ina storycollection, but The Inimitable claims to be a novel. StillThe Inimitable Jeeves is Jeeves and Wooster, and it is funny. And this book is a good beginning.

Luckilyhe had Jeeves to get himout ofsticky situations inother words, Jeeves had to help himpracticallyeveryminute. Add to this no-nonsense Aunt Agatha who considers Bertie to be somethingsimilar to a village idiot and youcanimagine that out hero did not have time to get bored - either his aunt, or his friend were always handyto make his alreadycomplicated and life evenmore complicated.

It also happened to be the first book containingJeeves and Wooster stories exclusively. The characters stilllack polishofthe later books, the relationship betweenthemare slightlydifferent fromwhat theywillbe later. Jeeves The Inimitable Jeeves a little off. Bertie Wooster however is his usualself.

I found the book veryamusing. I smiled a lot readingit, however I did not laughout loud like I did readingbooks 6 and 7. Ifyouwant a humorous book youcando so muchworse thanthis.

Banks whichyouread a few months ago? We Woosters are straightforward people and like to get to the point. Whichever it was, I cantellyou that this is veritablythe bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas rolled into one. I haven't laughed so muchsince Bingo fellinto the Serpentine while doing his impressionofLloyd George after the last Drones club dinner. It almost makes me feelthere could be somethingto this readinglark.

After a few seconds, he shook his head sadly. What was the title again? I amalltoo imitable - to suchanextent, infact, that I rather fancy someone is doingpreciselythat, at this verymoment. Don't ask me how, but we'd ended up insome ghastlyparodyhomage. Deuced embarrassingifI sayso myself. No more ofthis literature rot fromThe Inimitable Jeeves on.

He put the good old cup oftea softlyonthe table bymybed, and I took a refreshingsip. Just right, as usual. Not too hot, not too sweet, not too weak, not The Inimitable Jeeves strong, not too muchmilk, and not a drop spilled inthe saucer. A most amazingcove, Jeeves.

So dashed competent ineveryrespect. I've said it before, and I'llsayit again. I meanto say, take just one smallinstance. Everyother valet I've ever had The Inimitable Jeeves to barge into myroominthe morningwhile I was stillasleep, causingmuchmisery:but Jeeves seems to know when I'mawake bya sort oftelepathy. He always floats inwiththe cup exactlytwo minutes after I come to life. Makes a deuce ofa lot ofdifference to a fellow's day.

How about it? That was enoughfor me. Jeeves knows. How, I couldn't say, but he knows. There was The Inimitable Jeeves time whenI would laughlightly, and go ahead, and lose The Inimitable Jeeves little allagainst his advice, but not now. Well, I must sayI'd thought fairlyhighlyofthose shirtings, but I bowed to superior knowledge.

I don't know. Most fellows, no doubt, are allfor havingtheir valets confine their activities to creasingtrousers and what not without tryingThe Inimitable Jeeves runthe home; but it's different withJeeves. Right fromthe first dayhe came to me, I have looked onhimas a sort ofguide, philosopher, and friend.

Little rangup onthe telephone a few moments ago, sir. I informed himthat youwere not yet awake. He mentioned that he had a matter of importance to discuss withyou, but confided no details. I wasn't what youmight callina fever ofimpatience. Bingo Little is a chap I was at school with, and we see a lot ofeachother still. He's the nephew ofold Mortimer Little, who retired from[Pg9] business recentlywitha goodishpile.

Bingo biffs about Londonona prettycomfortable allowance givenhimbyhis uncle, and leads onthe whole a fairlyunclouded life. It wasn't likely that anythingwhichhe described as a matter ofimportance would turnout to be reallyso frightfullyimportant.

I took it that he had discovered some new brand ofcigarette whichhe wanted me to try, or somethinglike that, and didn't spoilmybreakfast by worrying.

After breakfast I lit The Inimitable Jeeves cigarette and went to the openwindow to inspect the day. It certainlywas one ofthe best and brightest. He had beenclearingawaythe breakfast things, but at the sound ofthe youngmaster's voice cheesed it courteously. Thenbringme mywhangee, myyellowest shoes, and the old greenHomburg. I'mgoinginto the Park to do pastoraldances.

I don't know ifyouknow that sort offeelingyouget onthese days round about the end ofApriland the beginningofMay, whenthe sky's a light blue, withcotton-woolclouds, and there's a bit ofa breeze blowingfromthe west? Kind ofuplifted feeling. Romantic, ifyouknow what I mean. I'mnot muchofa ladies' The Inimitable Jeeves, but onthis particular The Inimitable Jeeves it seemed to The Inimitable Jeeves that what I really [Pg10] wanted was some charminggirlto buzzup and ask me to save her fromassassins or something.

So that it was a bit ofananti-climaxwhenI merelyraninto youngBingo The Inimitable Jeeves, lookingperfectlyfoulina crimsonsatintie decorated The Inimitable Jeeves horseshoes. He seemed embarrassed, so The Inimitable Jeeves dropped the subject. We toddled alonga bit, and sat downona couple ofchairs bythe Serpentine. I waited for himto unleashthe topic ofthe day, but he didn't seemto want to get going.

Conversationlanguished. He stared straight ahead The Inimitable Jeeves himina glassysort ofmanner. For I realised now that poor old Bingo was goingthroughit once again. Ever since I have knownhim—and we were at schooltogether—he has beenperpetuallyfallinginlove with someone, generallyinthe spring, whichseems to act onhimlike magic. At schoolhe had the The Inimitable Jeeves collectionofactresses' photographs ofanyone ofhis time; The Inimitable Jeeves at Oxford his romantic nature was a byword.

He was geographicallyaccurate. About fiftyyards east ofthe Ritzthere is one ofthose blighted tea-and-bunshops yousee dotted about allover London, and into this, ifyou'llbelieve me, youngBingo dived like a homingrabbit; and before I had time to saya word we were wedged inat a table, onthe brink ofa silent poolofcoffee left there byanearlyluncher.

I'mbound to sayI couldn't quite follow the development ofthe scenario. Bingo, while not absolutelyrollinginthe stuff, has always had a fair amount ofthe ready. Apart fromwhat he got fromhis uncle, I knew that he had finished up the jumpingseasonwellonThe Inimitable Jeeves right side ofthe ledger.

Why, then, was he lunchingthe girlat this Godforsakeneatery? It couldn't be because he was hard up. The manwas goggling. His entire map was suffused witha richblush. He looked like the Soul's Awakeningdone inpink. Personally, ifanyone had told me that a tie like that suited me, I should have risenand struck themonthe mazzard, regardless oftheir age and sex; but poor old Bingo simplygot allflustered withgratification, and smirked inthe most gruesome manner. Same for you, Bertie?

I gazed at the man, revolted. That he could have beena palofmine allthese years and think me capable ofinsultingthe old The Inimitable Jeeves withthis sort ofstuffcut me to the quick. Youknow, the waylove canchange a fellow is reallyfrightfulto contemplate. This chappie before me, who spoke inThe Inimitable Jeeves absolutelycareless wayofmacaroons and limado, was the manI had seen[Pg13] inhappier days tellingthe The Inimitable Jeeves at Claridge's exactlyhow he wanted the chefto prepare the sole frite augourmet auxchampignonsand sayinghe would jolly wellslingit back ifit wasn't just right.

A rolland butter and a smallcoffee seemed the onlythings onthe list that hadn't beenspeciallyprepared bythe nastier-minded members ofthe Borgia familyfor people theyhad a particular grudge against, so I chose them, and Mabelhopped it. It was inaid ofsome charityor other. Anyway, he was there, swinginga 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 fellinto a species oftrance, and onlycame out ofit to wrap himselfround the pie and macaroon. I mean, you're a prettyconsummate old ass, aren't you? Not that I want to hurt your feelings, ofcourse. You've oftentold me that The Inimitable Jeeves has helped other pals ofyours out The Inimitable Jeeves messes.

Fromwhat youtellme, he's bywayofbeingthe brains ofthe family. What do youthink myuncle's goingto sayto allthis? IfI sprangit onhim cold, he'd tie himselfinknots onthe hearthrug. Yousee, I'mprettywelldependent onthe old boy.

Ifhe cut The Inimitable Jeeves myallowance, I should be verymuchinthe soup. So youput the whole binge to Jeeves and see ifhe can't scare up a happyendingsomehow. Tellhimmyfuture is inhis hands, and that, ifthe weddingbells ringout, he canrelyonme, evenunto halfmy[Pg15] kingdom.

Well, callit tenquid. Jeeves would exert himselfwithtenquid onthe horizon, what? I wasn't inthe least surprised at Bingo wantingto lugJeeves into his private affairs like this.

It was the first thingI would have thought ofdoingmyselfifI had The Inimitable Jeeves inanyhole ofanydescription. As I have frequentlyhad occasionto observe, he is a bird ofthe ripest intellect, fullofbright ideas. The Inimitable Jeeves anybodycould fixthings for poor old Bingo, he could. It The Inimitable Jeeves mypractice at this hour to read some improvingbook; but, ifyoudesire myservices, this caneasilybe postponed, or, indeed, abandoned altogether.

Jeeves seemed to know everything. Most amazingthing. I'd beenpallywithBingo practicallyallmylife, and yet I didn't remember ever having heard that his uncle lived anywhere is particular. Little's cook, sir. Infact, there is anunderstanding. I'mbound to saythat this gave me a bit ofa start. Somehow I'd never thought ofJeeves goinginfor that sort ofthing. Tellme about old Mr. What sort ofa chap is he?

Since retiringfrombusiness he has become a great recluse, and now devotes himselfalmost entirelyto the pleasures ofThe Inimitable Jeeves table. He is what The Inimitable Jeeves usuallycalled a gourmet.

    Aunts Aren't What?

    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 27 Number 3 Autumn 2006 Aunts Aren’t What? BY CHARLES GOULD ecently, cataloguing a collection of Wodehouse novels in translation, I was struck again by R the strangeness of the title Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen and by the sad history that seems to dog this title and its illustrators, who in my experience always include a cat. Wodehouse’s original title is derived from the dialogue between Jeeves and Bertie at the very end of the novel, in which Bertie’s idea that “the trouble with aunts as a class” is “that they are not gentlemen.” In context, this is very funny and certainly needs no explication. We are well accustomed to the “ungentlemanly” behavior of Aunt Agatha—autocratic, tyrannical, unreasoning, and unfair—though in this instance it’s the good and deserving Aunt Dahlia whose “moral code is lax.” But exalted to the level of a title and thus isolated, the statement A sensible Teutonic “aunts aren’t gentlemen” provokes some scrutiny. translation First, it involves a terrible pun—or at least homonymic wordplay—lost immediately on such lost American souls as pronounce “aunt” “ant” and “aren’t” “arunt.” That “aunt” and “aren’t” are homonyms is something of a stretch in English anyway, and to stretch it into a translation is hopeless. True, in “The Aunt and the Sluggard” (My Man Jeeves), Wodehouse wants us to pronounce “aunt” “ant” so that the title will remind us of the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper; but “ants aren’t gentlemen” hasn’t a whisper of wit or euphony to recommend it to the ear.

(Jorge Luis Borges, The Universal History of Infamy 11) Unfortunately, however, if there was one thing circumstances weren’t, it was different from what they were, and there was no suspicion of a song on the lips. The more I thought of what lay before me at these bally Towers, the bowed- downer did the heart become. (P. G. Wodehouse, The Code of the Woosters 31) A good way to understand the achievement of P. G. Wodehouse is to look closely at the style in which he wrote his Jeeves and Wooster novels, which began in the 1920s, and to realise how different it is from that used in the dozens of other books he wrote, some of them as much admired as the famous master-and-servant stories. Indeed, those other novels and stories, including the Psmith books of the 1910s and the later Blandings Castle series, are useful in showing just how distinct a style it is. It is a unique, vernacular, contorted, slangy idiom which I have labeled baroque because it is in such sharp con- trast to the almost bland classical sentences of the other Wodehouse books. The Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary describes the ba- roque style as “marked generally by use of complex forms, bold or- *For debates inspired by this article, please check the Connotations website at <http://www.connotations.de/debdugan02023.htm>.

    Index to Wooster Sauce and By The Way 1997–2020 Guide to this Index This index covers all issues of Wooster Sauce and By The Way published since The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) was founded in 1997. It does not include the special supplements that were produced as Christmas bonuses for renewing members of the Society. (These were the Kid Brady Stories (seven instalments), The Swoop (seven instalments), and the original ending of Leave It to Psmith.) It is a very general index, in that it covers authors and subjects of published articles, but not details of article contents. (For example, the author Will Cuppy (a contemporary of PGW’s) is mentioned in several articles but is only included in the index when an article is specifically about him.) The index is divided into three sections: I. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Subject Index Page 1 II. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Author Index Page 34 III. By The Way Issues in Number Order Page 52 In the two indexes, the subject or author (given in bold print) is followed by the title of the article; then, in bold, either the issue and page number, separated by a dash (for Wooster Sauce); or ‘BTW’ and its issue number, again separated by a dash. For example, 1-1 is Wooster Sauce issue 1, page 1; 20-12 is issue 20, page 12; BTW-5 is By The Way issue 5; and so on.

    Chapter 18: P.G. Wodehouse 109 He Ever Had

    18 P.G. Wodehouse Heresy can mean doing obstinately what you do best, and doing it in the most improbable places. Jeeves, for example, was conceived and born in New York. At least P.G. Wodehouse was living there when he À rst thought of him. That may sound like an odd place to do it, but the fact is not in doubt. After two discontented years in a London bank and a little journalism, Wodehouse settled in Greenwich Village (off and on) in 1909. He had first visited America in 1904, drawn by its boxing tradition, but he soon came to believe he could write for it; and it was there in the autumn of 1914 that he met and married a young English widow called Ethel, whose daughter he adopted. War was breaking out in Europe, but his poor eyesight made him unfit for active duty, so he wrote on. There was to be another world war in his lifetime, as unexpected to him as the first, and after than he settled again in America, dying in 1975 on Long Island in his nineties. So New York was as much home to him as anywhere, though you sometimes wonder if anywhere was. He casually inhabited the whole world. Born in Guildford in 1881, his first infant years had been in Hong Kong, where his father was a magistrate, and his middle years, after New York and Hollywood, were spent in France. Like many EnglishmenSAMPLE down the centuries he had the carefree talent of being mostly somewhere else and yet never losing sense of who he was.
