Lieutenant Colonel Norman T. P. Murphy May 20, 1933–October 18, 2016 by David Landman
The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 37 Number 4 Winter 2016 Lieutenant Colonel Norman T. P. Murphy May 20, 1933–October 18, 2016 by David Landman t is distressing to report that one of the mainstays I of The Wodehouse Society, Norman Murphy, died on October 18 of complications following a stroke. I stare at this dismal sentence and find it hard to digest. And then it occurs to me—as I sense his scrupulous presence— that I don’t really know what a mainstay is. He would have, though—as well as every other mast, sail, and item of tackle on an eighteenth-century ship of the line. So change the metaphor: Norman Murphy, the dean of The Wodehouse Society, has died. More accurate, perhaps, but no less dismal. Even the bare facts of his life as they are recounted in the splendid obituaries published in the October 20 London Times and Daily Telegraph (http://tinyurl.com/ ntpm-times and http://tinyurl.com/ntpm-teleg) evoke the sense of an extraordinary man. I recommend readers view these touching portraits; in this article I shall just note a Norman explains the Wodehouse regalia tea bell at one of the biennial conventions of The Wodehouse Society few highlights of his life and relate some anecdotes—many from personal experience—that I hope will convey the spirited dash of his personality and what it was like to be in the presence of a man of such intense energy and unquenchable curiosity about everything in the world. Born in London in 1933 to physician Thomas Murphy and his wife, Norah, Irish emigrants from County Cork, Norman told me that one of his earliest memories was being wakened by his mother to watch in the distance the flames consuming the Crystal Palace (then located in southeast London).

Wodehouse and the Baroque*1
Connotations Vol. 20.2-3 (2010/2011) Worcestershirewards: Wodehouse and the Baroque*1 LAWRENCE DUGAN I should define as baroque that style which deli- berately exhausts (or tries to exhaust) all its pos- sibilities and which borders on its own parody. (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>.

Drop everything and come down here pronto, prepared for lengthy visit. Bertie Wooster has grown a mustache. The reader familiar with the happy-go-lucky character knows that he will eventually cave in, even if his trip to the manor would lead to probably the ghastliest imbroglio that had ever broken loose in the history of the human race.

Wodehouse | 240 pages | 21 Dec 2011 | Cornerstone | 9780099513933 | English | London, United Kingdom Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (Jeeves, #11) by P.G. Wodehouse A Jeeves and Wooster novel The beefy 'Stilton' Cheesewright has drawn Bertie Wooster as red-hot favourite in the Drones club annual darts tournament - which is lucky for Bertie because otherwise Stilton would have beaten him to a pulp and buttered the lawn with him. Meanwhile Bertie has committed a more heinous offence by growing a moustache, and Jeeves strongly disapproves - which is unfortunate, because Jeeves's feudal spirit is desperately needed. And Bertie? Bertie simply has to try to hold onto his moustache and hope he gets to the end in one piece. Bertie Wooster is asked by an acquaintance of his Aunt Dahlia to put up a thousand pounds for the production of a play and faces Jeeve's disapproval of the mustache Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit: (Jeeves & Wooster) grew while his butler was on vacation. Bertie may be in danger of having his spine severed in five places by that jealous gorilla G. D'Arcy Stilton Cheesewright, but, as Jeeves insists, the priorities still have to be observed. And so, thanks to Jeeves, they are throughout this bumper volume, whatever mayhem may be loosed upon the befuddled head and generous heart of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. A Jeeves novel Captain Biggar, big-game hunter and all round tough guy, should make short work of the two bookies who have absconded with his winnings after a freak double made him a fortune.

Download Jeeves and Wooster in New York, PG Wodehouse, Penguin Group
Jeeves and Wooster in New York, P. G. Wodehouse, Penguin Group (Canada), 1986, , . DOWNLOAD http://bit.ly/1aUeE3l , , , , . Reginald Jeeves is a fictional character in the short stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse (1881â€“1975), being the valet of Bertie Wooster (Bertram Wilberforce Wooster). Created in 1915, Jeeves continued to appear in Wodehouse's work until his last completed novel Aunts Aren't Gentlemen in 1974, a span of 59 years. The name "Jeeves" comes from Percy Jeeves (1888â€“1916), a Warwickshire cricketer killed in the First World War.[1] Both the name "Jeeves" and the character of Jeeves have come to be thought of as the quintessential name and nature of a valet or butler inspiring many similar characters (as well as the name of the Internet search engine Ask Jeeves). A "Jeeves" is now a generic term in references such as the Oxford English Dictionary.[2] In a conversation with a policeman in "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina", Jeeves refers to himself as both a "gentleman's personal gentleman" and a "personal gentleman's gentleman."[3] This means that Jeeves is a valet, not a butlerâ€”that is, he serves a man and not a household. However, Bertie Wooster has lent out Jeeves as a butler on several occasions, and notes: "If the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them."[4] Jeeves is known for his convoluted yet precise speech and for quoting from Shakespeare and famous romantic poets. In his free time, he likes to relax with "improving" books such as the complete works of Spinoza, or to read "Dostoyevsky and the great Russians".[5] He "glides" or "shimmers" in and out of rooms and may appear or disappear suddenly and without warning.

Likewise lucky is Dante, the father of modern Italian. It is well known that in World War II the U.S. Marines fooled our Asian foe by using Navajos to translate our coded messages into their native tongue.

My Man Jeeves P
My Man Jeeves P. G. Wodehouse My Man Jeeves P. G. Wodehouse LEAVE IT TO JEEVES Jeeves—my man, you know—is really a most extraordinary chap. So capable. Honestly, I shouldn't know what to do without him. On broader lines he's like those chappies who sit peering sadly over the marble battlements at the Pennsylvania Station in the place marked “Inquiries.” You know the Johnnies I mean. You go up to them and say: “When's the next train for Melonsquashville, Tennessee?” and they reply, without stopping to think, “Two-forty-three, track ten, change at San Francisco.” And they're right every time. Well, Jeeves gives you just the same impression of omniscience. As an instance of what I mean, I remember meeting Monty Byng in Bond Street one morning, looking the last word in a grey check suit, and I felt I should never be happy till I had one like it. I dug the address of the tailors out of him, and had them working on the thing inside the hour. “Jeeves,” I said that evening. “I'm getting a check suit like that one of Mr. Byng's.” “Injudicious, sir,” he said firmly. “It will not become you.” “What absolute rot! It's the soundest thing I've struck for years.” “Unsuitable for you, sir.” Well, the long and the short of it was that the confounded thing came home, and I put it on, and when I caught sight of myself in the glass I nearly swooned. Jeeves was perfectly right. I looked a cross between a music-hall comedian and a cheap bookie.

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.

The P G Wodehouse Society (UK)
The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 9b Revised December 2018 Articles from Wooster Sauce providing further details on six aspects of the Chronology of Wodehouse’s Fiction Writing 1 Reggie and the Greasy Bird The short story Reggie and the Greasy Bird, which had appeared in the Saturday Evening Post on 28 November 1936 was described by Wodehouse in a letter to William Townend of 28 December as being ‘. in that shape, rotten. I rewrote it like that because I had at last decided that I would start writing in America under another name, and then the tax matter was settled, and I sent it to the Post in that form, though knowing it was not so good.’ ‘The tax matter’ to which he refers was a dispute with the US tax authorities of such intensity that the Internal Revenue Service had issued liens to his publishers requiring any payments to Wodehouse to be redirected to the IRS. As was to be proved by a series of court decisions, neither party had interpreted all the relevant disputed tax laws correctly (and Wodehouse came out in rather the better position at the end of the day), but the imposition of this lien had an immediate and drastic impact on his cash flow from United States sources. At the time he was used to receiving approximately $ 40,000 per serialised novel, and $ 4,000 per short story. While the legal arguments were batted to and fro, he considered ways of circumventing the problem, and as he wrote to Townend, had concluded that he should submit stories under a pseudonym, in the hope that he would be able to receive immediate payment.
