i cant find the original but there's a text post that calls Bertie 'Twinky McDumbass' and then I read this and. Bertram. BERTRAM. NO ONE SAYS THIS ABOUT THEIR VALETS

For all we know, at this very moment hundreds of young women all over the country may be in the process of being turned into lobsters.

I have found that as a book’s style seeps into my vocabulary I stop being able to identify it and end up just saying ‘ooh jar cum spiff’; ‘lud, Man!’, ‘rem accu tetigisti’; ‘buggerit, millennium hand and shrimp’ and ‘righto chief!’ strait faced and without noticing. My friends think I’ve cracked, and honesty perhaps I have.

Spill the mate tea!

It's Valentine's day and a letter has arrived from my new friend Wooster. I don't know much about him or P. G. Wodehouse, so everything is new to me. I love the illustration in the letter! Jeeves looks so elegant that I understand the first impression.

Wooster is so friendly that his letter feels like a talk with an old friend, but sometimes I couldn't understand him because English is my second language and I had to keep a tab just for a dictionary.

cheery: cheerful steep: infuse gill: breathing organ of fish. UK Stream zephyr: gentle wind, breeze law-abiding: obedient to the laws of society to sow his wild oats: to have many sexual relationships particularly when one is young boon: gift, blessing fo'c'sle of a whaler: ... ok, this is hard! 🐳

It's about people who are the essence of propriety today, but whose behaviour in the '90s would not have been tolerated in the fo'c'sle of a whaler.

Ok, I have an idea, but let's see:

Es sobre personas que son la esencia del decoro hoy en día, pero cuyo comportamiento en los años 90, no habría sido tolerado ni en un barco ballenero.

Spill the tea! I want all the details!!! If there are so many stories to fill a book with all the gossip, a cuppa won't be enough, I'll need lot of yerba mate.

Edwin was her young brother, who was spending his holidays at Easeby. He was a ferret-faced kid, whom I had disliked since birth.

Somebody of the Lestrade family, I guess...

I'm having fun even when I had to look for so many translations, so for now I'll take this quote as my experience reading this for the first time (as a non-native speaker)

All perfectly true, no doubt; but not the sort of thing to spring on a lad with a morning head.

I'll need more mate tea for the next letter, I guess.

What I want is an extremely Wodehousian series of short stories about a young lady who used to be Incredibly Efficient and Go-Getting and Businesslike and Problem-Solving at work and in her personal life and for all her friends and was also deeply deeply anxious … and then realized that she wasn’t actually getting anything out of that for herself (except perhaps a sizable nest egg in stocks) and decided to just Stop.

So she quit her job and shocked all her friends and family and now she spends her days sitting in coffee shops people-watching and never worries about anything.

Except that occasionally her friends still show up and tell her their problems, and she says, “Why don’t you break up with him?” and they say, “I can’t, I’m in love!” so she says, “Well, why don’t you do x, then?” and they say, “I can’t do x!” so she says, “Well, then don’t come crying to me when consequences happen.”

And they sniff and say, “You’ve become very cold, Isabel,” and go off in a huff, and she orders another croissant.

And then a week later they come crying to her because consequences have happened, and she sighs and pats their hand and then writes a brief letter to the young man’s mother and Everything Is Resolved.

I feel like that formula would take a long time to get old.

Leave it to Psmith as an Anime

“I think you’re terribly conceited. You seem to have mapped out my future for me.”

“I have.”

I’m just saying—for a book written in the 1920s, it would work unbelievably well. And it’s in the public domain :D

#leave it to psmith #p g wodehouse #fake screenshot #fan art #jenniferbrincho #anime is emphatically NOT my expertise but my brain wouldn’t let this idea rest #someone who can do this better than me. PLeASE I want a good adaptation of this I can watchhh :’) #live action would be fine too but the glasses flash trope is LITERALLY in the book #and the umbrella meeting #and the whole flowerpots running joke thing?? #just perfect for anime

The amount of knowledge Jeeves has on the works of Rosie M Bank, an author who almost explicitly writes about a working class women and an upper class men falling in love, probably doesn’t imply anything 🙃🙂

Ofc Jeeve my man it’s your aunt’s collection. You just read for researching purposes only

I 100% believe you
