Wodehouse | 224 pages | 27 May 2011 | Everyman | 9781841591780 | English | London, United Kingdom Ol' Reliable | The Outer Worlds Wiki | Fandom Former actress Adela Cork owns the Beverly Hills property known as the Carmen Flores place, after the famous and tempestuous Mexican actress who previously owned the house. Flores was killed in a plane crash the previous year. The will of Adela's late wealthy husband Alfred says Adela should support his impecunious brother Smedley, though she merely lets him live in her house. Smedley dislikes living with Adela, who makes him drink yoghurt instead of cocktails. Adela's sister Bill, a former scriptwriter, is ghostwriting Adela's memoirs. Adela's impeccable butler Phipps is nervous that Bill, who was part of the jury that sentenced him to prison for safecracking a few years ago, will tell Adela about his past which he has kept secret, but she promises not to tell. Smedley hopes to find the late Carmen Flores's diary. He believes she wrote about her affairs with men who would pay to have it suppressed. Bill thinks Smedley needs looking after and wants to marry him, but Smedley has doubts about marriage. Kay likes him but turns him down because she thinks he is not serious. They both separately go to California. Bill suggests to Joe that they buy her literary agent's business for twenty thousand dollars. Bill wants Joe to fund the purchase, since he won a radio jackpot, but he explains that he has nearly spent all his winnings. Joe later meets Smedley, who looks rich, and gives him a car ride hoping for money. Adela has invited Kay and the rich Lord Topham to her house, hoping they will marry. Adela gives Phipps notice for looking around in her bedroom against her orders. He tells Bill that he was looking for the valuable diary of the late Carmen Flores, and has not found it. Joe comes to the house, having been invited by Smedley while they were out drinking. Smedley was celebrating because he found the diary, which is written in Spanish, on top of Adela's wardrobe. He has been offered fifty thousand dollars for it. By pretending to help translate it, Adela tricks Smedley into giving her the diary. Bill reveals to Smedley, Kay, and Joe that Phipps is a safecracker, and suggests that he get the diary from Adela's safe. Phipps's cut will be five thousand dollars. He agrees. Late that night, they assemble to steal the diary. However, Phipps has been hired by movie mogul Jacob Glutz to play butler roles, and is unwilling to risk being caught burgling. Bill comes up with the idea to give Phipps strong drinks and taunt him into burgling the safe by suggesting he has lost his skill. Phipps becomes drunk and remarkably less formal, then goes to break open the safe after being taunted by Bill. Kay tells Bill that she loves Joe but thinks his proposals are too flippant, though Bill thinks he is just shy. Phipps fails to focus on his task and argues in a disjointed way with Smedley and Joe before falling asleep. Joe tells Bill he is too shy to propose to Kay seriously. Bill knocks Joe out with her only Mickey Finn drug, planning to make Kay sympathetic to him. Bill wakes up Phipps, who does not remember anything from when he was drunk. She claims Phipps knocked out Joe. Kay sees Joe unconscious and instantly goes to his side, as Bill planned. Joe recovers, and is happily surprised that Kay returns his feelings. Phipps apologizes and works on the safe. Smedley inadvertently makes noise and wakes up Adela. Adela investigates but is stopped by Bill, who stalls by talking to Lord Topham. Topham loves Gladys "Toots" Fauntleroy, but they had an argument about her new hat. He sent a cable to England apologizing and awaits her reply. Adhesive x3 Oil x4 Screw x2 Steel x5.

It was only after that point that the plot thickened for a while and gave some funny moments, but that didn't last too long. The characters are all familiar and similar to ones seen in other, more popular works. Phipps' character was the only one that was new to me, but didn't hold much appeal. Wodehouse, however, as always prov This is one of the few Wodehouse books that didn't keep me in splits from start to finish. Wodehouse, however, as always proved to be the king of incredibly humorous similes. The hollywood and superba theme was a lot funnier in Pearls, girls and Monty Bodkin. Jan 04, Lesli rated it it was amazing. This is a great Wodehouse. One of the few where the female love interest is not young and pretty. One of the things I like about Wodehouse is that he sees women as real people. But did the boys ever think to look beyond girls looks? Ah well. We can't ask for everything in a Wodehouse. Aug 20, Ankita rated it really liked it. Bill 'The Old Reliable' Shannon is easily one of my favourite characters on script now- clever, witty and funny as only a Wodehouse creation can be. A fast read, set in the house of the ex-Mexican star Carmen Flores over the course of two days- the comedy is full of twists and laughs. Loved the book. Wodehouse as previously mentioned, is forever brilliant. A solid but unremarkable Wodehouse novel. It's said that the plot of this one is too close to that of the slightly earlier "Spring Fever" personally I find that after a while all Wodehouse's plots merge into one anyway so it doesn't really matter. May 30, Douglas Wilson rated it liked it Shelves: fiction , wodehouse. Oct 14, Rachel rated it it was ok Shelves: light-hearted-funny. This was really too close in plot to Spring Fever for me to enjoy all that much. If I'd read them spaced out by more than a few days, I think it would have been much better. That should be the soubriquet for Wodehouse himself. This, as ever, has much the same characters, with different names, is farcical and wonderful! Wodehouse-ian antics in Hollywood.

Aspects satirising Hollywood it it's heyday are the most successful. Feb 23, Beth rated it liked it. Set in Beverly Hills where everyone wants to be in movies, this one is a typical Wodehouse story of bringing the lovebirds together. Feb 14, Gg rated it really liked it. As good as any Wodehouse book. But I think the author got bored in the end and wrote abruptly to finish writing the book. I feel he could have done it better. Still liked it.

  • 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 One upside of returning to night shifts is that I have more time to read. In my first two nights I got through a Hamish Macbeth novel and then on the third and fourth I read this. It is the s and the aristocracy must adapt to a changing world. Ring for Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster) is off at a special school learning life skills should the worst happen and he be forced to let Jeeves go and fend for himself. Jeeves is temporarily on loan with the Earl of Rowcester, Bill. Bill owns a crumbling mansion that is far too expensive to maintain and too large for his needs. Engaged to be married Bill has become a bookie, in disguise, assisted by Jeeves. The scheme has worked well and kept him afloat. En route to view the house Rosalind Spottsworth meets an old friend of her late husband, Captain Biggar, who carries a torch for her. Biggar is in hot pursuit of an unscrupulous bookmaker who has done a runner. Bill is encouraged by his sister to use his charms to try and sell the place, but this causes some jealousy and suspicion Ring for Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster) his fiancee. Can Jeeves help his new employer navigate the challenges of selling a house, sweet talking an old Ring for Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster) and keeping his fiancee happy? Can they hide from Biggar or come up with some way to find the money needed to pay him back? The farcical aspects of the story are handled well, slowly piling up around poor Bill but never becoming too ridiculous.

  • By the Way Sept 08.Qxd
    BY THE WAY Occasional Newsletters from The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Number 35 September 2008 IONICUS Covers for Wodehouse Paperbacks The topic for this By The Way was inspired by two members, Stephen Payne and Graeme Davidson. Stephen was anxious to confirm precisely how many Wodehouse books had been illustrated by Ionicus, as he understood there were more than the 56 Penguins he had at that point acquired. Graeme had been in correspondence with Ionicus in the late 1980s, with a view to purchasing the original artwork for one of the covers. The artist Ionicus (J C Armitage), who died in February 1998, still retains a narrow lead as the person who has designed more covers for Wodehouse books than any other, although this position will be surrendered during 2009 to Andrzej Klimowski, illustrator of the Collectors series of jacketed hardbacks published by Everyman (or Overlook in the USA). Ionicus provided the illustrations for a total of 58 Penguins, as listed below, plus the wrap-around cover for the Chatto & Windus first edition of Wodehouse’s last book, Sunset at Blandings (part of which was also used for the cover of the Coronet paperback). 1969 Piccadilly Jim 1974 The Little Nugget 1969 Spring Fever 1974 Sam the Sudden 1970 Psmith in the City 1974 Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin 1970 Psmith, Journalist 1975 Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves 1971 The Mating Season 1975 Leave It to Psmith 1971 Very Good, Jeeves 1975 Indiscretions of Archie 1971 Laughing Gas 1975 Bachelors Anonymous 1971 Blandings Castle 1975 Doctor Sally 1971 Summer Lightning

  • Wodehouse in Wonderland by Robert Mccrum
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 37 Number 1 Spring 2016 Wodehouse in Wonderland by Robert McCrum Writer and noted Wodehouse biographer Robert McCrum spoke at the Pseattle convention about Wodehouse’s ability to react with humor to any event, even the most extreme and painful, including his experiences during and after World War II. I personally was very moved when I considered Wodehouse’s innermost feeling during those last decades of his life. Thanks to Robert for giving us permission to share this fascinating study with the entire society. or more than twenty years I’ve been hearing about Fthese Wodehouse conventions. Now, finally, I get it. This is probably the most fun you can have without being arrested, an offbeat symposium of sheer delight. So first, my thanks to The Wodehouse Society for Writer Robert McCrum its kind invitation, with a special thank-you to Tom Smith. Since we first met in 2002, Tom has now become Nor should we overlook Stanley Featherstonehaugh a doctor (of letters) as well as a major.

    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 31 Number 1 Spring 2010 The Early Days of The Wodehouse Society by Len Lawson Past TWS President Len Lawson gave this presentation at the June 2009 convention in St. Paul. We’re grateful that Len has helped preserve this historical information and has shared it with us so entertainingly. he Wodehouse Society was founded by the gentleman you see Tpictured here, Captain William “Bill” W. Blood, USAF Retired. Not the best photo, but as you read in the caption, “The brilliance of his personality causes a lighting problem for photographers . .” The society was born with the meeting of Bill Blood and Franklin Axe (date unknown, probably 1979 or 1980). They met at an auction house (location unknown, probably near Doylestown, Pennsylvania) that often handled books. Frank’s wife Edna was looking for Wodehouse books for him when she ran into Bill Blood, also looking for Wodehouse books. Bill asked Edna to bring Frank along next time so they could talk about Wodehouse. She did and they did. Frank and Bill had a great time talking about Wodehouse. Bill asked if Frank would like to meet like this once a month, perhaps with more PGW devotees. Frank said, “Of course.” Somewhere along the way Bill suggested that they start a Wodehouse society, in fact, The Wodehouse Society. Since Bill agreed to do all the work, Frank said it was a great idea. Bill started by writing letters everywhere and placing a few advertisements. He wrote a letter to the editor of the New Hope Gazette, published a few miles from Bill Blood’s Doylestown in eastern Pennsylvania.

  • P. G. Wodehouse Linguist?1
    Connotations Vol. 15.1-3 (2005/2006) P. G. Wodehouse Linguist?1 BARBARA C. BOWEN One of the world’s great comic writers, “English literature’s perform- ing flea” (according to Sean O’Casey), a linguist? Surely not. In the first place, we Brits have traditionally been resistant to learning for- eign languages (on the grounds that English should be good enough for everybody); in the second place, PG received the then-standard English public-school education, which stressed Latin and Greek but certainly not any living foreign languages; in the third place the only foreign countries he visited, as far as I know, were France, Germany (through no fault of his own), and the United States, which became his home. Critics have not to my knowledge ever thought of him as a linguist; when Thelma Cazalet-Keir says “For me it is in his use of language that Mr. Wodehouse appears supremely,” she is thinking of his highly literary style and “concentration of verbal felicities.”2 But linguists are born, not made, and this article will contend that PG had a natural gift for language, both for the almost endless varia- tions on his own, and for a surprising number of foreign and pseudo- foreign tongues. He also wrote in several letters to Bill Townend that he thought of his books as stage plays, which means he was listening to his characters speaking as he wrote. In his first published book, The Pothunters (1902), we can listen to schoolboys: “That rotter, Reade, […] has been telling us that burglary chestnut of his all the morning.

  • The PG Wodehouse Society
    The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 1 Revised December 2018 Books by P G Wodehouse The purpose of this information sheet is to provide a comprehensive list of the books written by P G Wodehouse. There is no agreement amongst commentators or aficionados as to how many he wrote, for the reasons explained below, and The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) does not express a view on this matter. Please note that the Society’s listing does not include titles of books which have appeared since Wodehouse’s death for which the Wodehouse Trustees did not give consent for publication. In some cases, this may be because the texts, for example short stories in a new compilation, are now in the public domain in the country of publication so that consent was not sought; in other cases, the publication maybe wholly unofficial, in breach of copyright law and not necessarily in a format in which Wodehouse would recognise. Reasons why there can be many legitimate views as to the number of his books include: 1 Several books, particularly collections of short stories, which were published in the United States differed in the minutiae of their contents from the nearest equivalent collection in the United Kingdom. 2 Some books have joint authorship with another person. 3 When referring to his output of fiction, it is necessary to exclude autobiographical and similar work, and collections of essays. 4 It is not uncommon for reports in the media to double-count his output, eg by misusing the term ‘novel’ to include short story collections, and accordingly referring to ‘more than 90 (or even 100) novels and 300 short stories’, when any total number of books approaching 100 will already have to include the collections of short stories.
