"A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names.' He has probably now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled this man by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy."

“One of the poets, whose name I cannot recall, has a passage, which I am unable at the moment to remember, in one of his works, which for the time being has slipped my mind, which hits off admirably this age-old situation.”

— P.G. Wodehouse

Found a post in my drafts from early November about how I was beginning to figure out the rules of Wooster English. 33 short stories and 5 novels later I nearly forgot how much trouble I had with the language when I started but it genuinely is like learning an unfamiliar dialect

#it's like a clockwork orange with exact opposite vibes #i recall i couldn't figure out bally from context and had to look it up #i started a wooster glossary in my notes app #now i have to watch myself to talk like a normal person in the 21st century #jeeves and wooster #jeeves books #p. g. wodehouse

Yes Bertie, please tell me more about how Jeeves is sort-of like your wife and how you would do “all sorts of other things” to help him feel appreciated. Be specific.

#jooster #jeeves and wooster #also want to point out that jeeves and the unbidden guest is one of the earliest stories #make of that what you will #jeeves and the unbidden guest #my man jeeves #p. g. wodehouse

PERIOD DRAMA APPRECIATION WEEK 2023

Day 1: Favourite Adaptation: Jeeves and Wooster (1990–1993)

"Why is it, Jeeves, that the thought of the 'little thing' my Aunt Dahlia wants me to do for her fills me with a nameless foreboding?"

"Experience, sir?"

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.

It kills me when Bertie instructs Jeeves to behave absolutely normally in front of Sir Roderick and Lady Glossop, only to reveal that his idea of acting normally is to stand at the back of the room and scream “WHAT-HO, WHAT-HO, WHAT-HO!” at them as they step through the door.

Arthur Conan Doyle: Maybe if I kill off Sherlock Holmes, people will FINALLY read my historical novels.

Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot is a detestable creep and I only keep writing about him because the public demands it.

P. G. Wodehouse: I love writing stories about my weird little guy and you should buy and read all of them. Fuck the haters

#and he’s right!!!!! #also as someone who’s pushing 30 myself i appreciate the phrase ‘eager lad in my early thirties’ #p. g. wodehouse #very good jeeves #jeeves and wooster #arthur conan doyle #agatha christie
