@scouselakes.bsky.social I loved #AnneOfGreenGables but as she gets older, she comes dangerously close to #Wodehouse #MadelineBassett have you met #EmilyofNewMoon She’s much more strong minded and independent.

www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f... "My comfort read: The World of Jeeves, by PG Wodehouse, my favourite selection of his stories. I’ve been reading it now for almost 40 years. Sometimes I have to leave it alone for a while. It’s always a pleasure to come back to it, though." #wodehouse

Bertie Wooster and his cousin Angela talking about her love for Gussie Fink-Nottle. ''Well, that’s what I meant when I said it was all perfect drivel. You can’t possibly love a chap like Gussie.” “Why not?” “You simply can’t.” Well, I mean to say, of course she couldn’t. Nobody could love a freak like Gussie except a similar freak like the Bassett. The shot wasn’t on the board. A splendid chap, of course, in many ways–courteous, amiable, and just the fellow to tell you what to do till the doctor came, if you had a sick newt on your hands–but quite obviously not of Mendelssohn’s March timber. I have no doubt that you could have flung bricks by the hour in England’s most densely populated districts without endangering the safety of a single girl capable of becomiing Mrs. Augustus Fink-Nottle without an anaesthetic. I put this to her, and she was forced to admit the justice of it. “All right, then. Perhaps I don’t.”

I would say this phrase is safely archaic now, it belongs in the short stories of Saki and the novels of Hugh Walpole.
I cannot be SURE that #Wodehouse did not make one of his characters say: "I am in positively the rudest of rude health old top."

A quotation from jeeves and wodehouse written by pg wodehouse. Jeeves is speaking '“I was thinking of an incident of my earlier life, sir, before I entered your employment. I was in the service of the late Lord Brancaster at the time, a gentleman who owned a parrot to which he was greatly devoted, and one day the bird chanced to be lethargic, and his lordship, with the kindly intention of restoring it to its customary animation, offered it a portion of seed cake steeped in the ’84 port. The bird accepted the morsel gratefully and consumed it with every indication of satisfaction. Almost immediately afterwards, however, its manner became markedly feverish. Having bitten his lordship in the thumb and sung part of a sea-chanty, it fell to the bottom of the cage and remained there for a considerable period of time with its legs in the air, unable to move. I merely mention this, sir''
Jeeves explains the peculiarities of drunken parrots #wodehouse

An excerpt from a PG Wodehouse novel. Bertie Wooster is describing his relationship with his Aunts 'As a rule, you see, I'm not lugged into Family Rows. On the occasions when Aunt is calling Aunt like mastodons bellowing across primeval swamps and Uncle James's letter about Cousin Mabel's peculiar behaviour is being shot round the family circle ('Please read this carefully and send it on Jane') the clan has a tendency to ignore me. It's one of the advantages I get from being a bachelor - and, according to my nearest and dearest, practically a half-witted bachelor at that. '

What ho, Wednesday! It was Chocolate Day earlier this week. We celebrated with all things chocolate to accompany our reading. Taking a leaf out of the Empress of Blandings' diet, we aimed for 57,800 calories worth. Despite our best efforts, we fell well short. #wodehouse #chocolate

"It was one of those cases where you approve the broad, general principle of an idea but can't help being in a bit of a twitter at the prospect of putting it into practical effect.
I explained this to Jeeves, and he said much the same thing had bothered Hamlet.”

Lady Glossop: Mr. Wooster, how would you support a wife?
Bertie: Well, I suppose it depends on who’s wife it was. A little gentle pressure beneath the elbow while crossing a busy street usually fits the bill.

It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn’t.

This morning , my spouse pulled out a dark blue handkerchief, entirely new to me. “Where did you get a dark blue handkerchief?” He immediately replied, “The Anti-Jeeves Society.”
Fair.

What ho, Wednesday! Wishing everyone a lovely end to the year. It has always struck us that Christmas and New Year needs to happen half a year apart. But good news: it's Bloody Mary Appreciation Day tomorrow. Hair of the dog! #wodehouse #bloodymary
