Was watching Jeeves and Wooster when the gf told me Wooster “would do numbers on Tumblr.” Babe, he is doing numbers on Tumblr

Thinking about how Jeeves and Wooster is a wish fulfilment fantasy in both directions.

Imagine if there was a fantastically intelligent person in your life who solved all your problems, including the ones you didn't know you had, and even ensured you were always fabulously dressed.

Or imagine if through what seemed like a small amount of effort to you, could make everything in the life of someone you cared about run smoothly, and you were getting paid a lot to do it.

And also you were in love.

Enjoy receiving emails from besotted biographers about their genius associates?

Then have I got some email bookclubs starting in 2024 for you!

[IMG A cartoon of Holmes and Watson running side by side, dressed in country tweeds. Holmes is pointing. Lettering reads Letters from Watson, the Novels]

Letters from Watson is reading through the Sherlock Holmes short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle throughout 2023.

In 2024 we'll be reading the novels starting January 1st, with A Study in Scarlet. Hold on for more mystery and adventure with the Great Detective and his dashing doctor.

[IMG A cartoon of Raffles and Bunny running side by side, dressed in formal suits and top hats and wearing masks. Raffles is clutching some pearls and has jewels in his pockets. Lettering reads Letters from Bunny]

But perhaps you'd rather take a little trip to the other side of the law?

Letters from Bunny will be reading the Raffles stories by EW Hornung, featuring gentleman thief (and cricketer) AJ Raffles and his burglar companion Bunny Manders, from the Ides of March (March 15th)

[IMG A cartoon of Jeeves and Wooster walking side by side, Wooster dressed in colourful clothes and a boater, Jeeves in a monocrome suit. Lettering reads 'Letters Regarding Jeeves']

For something a little lighter, Letters Regarding Jeeves will be reading the uproarously funny public domain stories featuring chap about town Bertie Wooster and his bulging-brained valet Jeeves, starting February 14th.

Reblogs appreciated to spread the word!

Corky: “Why do you have to bring Jeeves everywhere?”

Bertie: “I have social anxiety and Jeeves is my emotional support valet.”

Letters Regarding Jeeves Is Now Live!

What ho, general public! In the vein of Letters From Watson, which sends you the Sherlock Holmes stories, and Letters From Bunny, which sends you the A. J. Raffles stories, I've started up a Substack that will do the very same! Starting February 14th, 2024, Letters Regarding Jeeves will send all the public domain Jeeves stories by P. G. Wodehouse to your email inbox in comfortable slices, with a bit of flavor text added by your good pal Bertie Wooster. And you can now officially subscribe!

If there's anything you'd like to know not covered by the on-site About page, then feel free to send an ask to this Tumblr, where it will be quickly answered by Mr. Wooster's secretary, A. C. (that's me!). Cheerio for now!

It isn’t often that you find an entire group of your fellow-humans happy in this world; but our little circle was certainly an example of the fact that it can be done. We were all full of beans.

I thought I was used to the slang but then “full of beans” for being happy comes along and socks you in the face

Ah yes, the immortal words of the late, great William Shakespeare:

"It’s always just when a chappie is feeling particularly top-hole, and more than usually braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping."

...or some equally brainy lad, at least.

So I was reading the Letters Regarding Jeeves tag, and that led me to this site of Wodehouse annotations, and that in turn led me to this, a jokey “Americanization” of Hamlet, apparently from an issue of Punch in the year 1907 and which has only gotten funnier with time:

I know I said I wouldn’t just copy and paste paragraphs in, but I have to highlight this absolute banger.

From The Aunt & The Sluggard, emphasis added:

“Jeeves,” I said coldly. The man was still standing like a statue by the door. “How many suits of evening clothes have I?”

“We have three suits full of evening dress, sir; two dinner jackets⁠—”

“Three.”

“For practical purposes two only, sir. If you remember we cannot wear the third. We have also seven white waistcoats.”

Bertie: My clothes.

Jeeves: OUR clothes.

Bertie. Bertie. Henpecked????????????

The statement that characters are So Incredibly Married is overused, but you're the one saying it, Mr Wooster, not me.

I find it so strange to think that PG Wodehouse started writing the Jeeves and Wooster stories in 1915, depicting the prewar era when 9% of households had live-in servants, and finished writing them in 1974, when it was only around 0.1%.

It makes me wonder if there's anyone writing a story of life in 2024 who'll still be going in 2093 when a key element of the world they depict has gone entirely.

What does this mean, "I didn’t want to get there and find Aunt Agatha waiting on the quay for me with a stuffed eelskin"?

Someone reading "Letters Regarding Jeeves" ought to know.

Were high-society ladies in the habit of beating their nephews with taxidermied sea creatures? Did English folk of the times smuggle weapons inside such things the way US mobsters hid Tommy guns in violin cases? Or is this just a metaphor I'm unfamiliar with?

#it's probably a metaphor #but what does it meeeeean #Jeeves and Wooster #Tumblr book club #Letters Regarding Jeeves

[chaos-has-theories]

Of all the substacks I've subscribed to since Dracula Daily, none have kept me reading as much as Letters regarding Jeeves. What a guy. What a vocabulary. How incredibly, bafflingly gay.

Just recently my good friend Bertie had to stay without his man for a couple of days, and it he just spent the time sad and depressed in his hotel room. You think I'm kidding?

Anyway. Can recommend.
