In Right Ho, Jeeves, Bertie is surprised to learn that Tuppy is Scottish.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 15, p. 167. Tuppy regularly plays tennis in the summer and football in the winter.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 15, p. 169.

Jeeves Information Systems, commonly known as Jeeves, is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and software developer in Sweden. Jeeves was founded at the beginning of the 1990s by a number of Swedish entrepreneurs. The head office is located in Stockholm. Jeeves was publicly traded on the Stockholm Stock Exchange from 1999 until 2012 when U.S.-based Battery Ventures acquired the company for $32.46 million.

In his youth, Jeeves worked as a page boy at a girls' school. He apparently served in the military to some extent in World War I.Cawthorne (2013), pp. 170–173. When asked by Lord Rowcester if he was in the First World War, Jeeves claims he "dabbled in it to a certain extent". In the play Come On, Jeeves, Jeeves states that he was a batman.

Aside from changes in his employment status, some events occur that are particularly noteworthy for Jeeves. Jeeves gets engaged twice in "Jeeves in the Springtime", though he never references these fiancées afterward, and it appears that he does not become engaged again.Usborne (2003), p. 91. In the only story Jeeves narrates, "Bertie Changes His Mind", he opposes Bertie's decision to live with his nieces.

Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 137. In the play Come On, Jeeves, which has mostly the same plot as Ring for Jeeves, it is mentioned that Jeeves changed his appearance as a bookmaker's clerk, though in the play, Jeeves also impersonates a medieval ghost named Lady Agatha, wearing makeup and women's medieval clothing to complete the disguise. He pretends to be a broker's man in "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird" and Bertie's solicitor in Aunts Aren't Gentlemen. In one instance, he pretends to be Bertie Wooster in a telephone conversation with playwright Percy Gorringe.

Bertie apparently never realizes that Jeeves arranged for him to give a lecture at the girls' school or that Jeeves faked the breakdown of the car. According to Kristin Thompson, this story shows the reader that Jeeves is capable of manipulating events without Bertie's knowledge in the other stories that are narrated by Bertie. Jeeves's offstage activities can sometimes be inferred from clues in Bertie's narrative, such as in "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina",Thompson (1992), pp. 154–155. "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy", and "Jeeves and the Impending Doom".

Aunt Dahlia wants help from Jeeves to find a pearl necklace she has pawned. Jeeves appears in drag in this episode to impersonate the novelist Daphne Dolores Morehead.

Aunt Dahlia sympathizes with Bertie, but, quoting what Jeeves said after Bertie was knocked out, says that you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. Bertie tells Jeeves to cut out eggs and lay off omelettes from now on, and Jeeves agrees, adding that he will bear it in mind.

Much Obliged, Jeeves is a comic novel by P. G. Wodehouse, published in the United Kingdom by Barrie & Jenkins, London, and in the United States by Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York under the name Jeeves and the Tie That Binds.

Much Obliged, Jeeves is the second-to-last novel featuring Wodehouse's characters, Jeeves and Bertie Wooster.

103, A94. In the British version, when Jeeves reveals he has destroyed Bertie's pages from the Junior Ganymede's book as Bertie wanted, Bertie merely says, "Much obliged, Jeeves." In the American version, Bertie instead asks Jeeves why he destroyed the pages; Jeeves answers that no other valet will ever need to see the pages, because he will be Bertie's valet indefinitely, as there is a "tie that binds" between them.Cawthorne (2013), p. 147.

Jeeves is usually drawn to appear slightly younger than Quackmore, with short black hair. Like Quackmore, Jeeves takes great pride in being a dedicated helper of his boss, but he will sometimes resort to criminal activity if pressed to by his master.

When Bertie Wooster catches his valet Meadowes stealing his silk socks among other things, he sacks him and sends for another from the agency. Jeeves arrives and mixes Bertie a hangover cure. The cure is remarkably effective, and Bertie engages Jeeves immediately.Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 1, pp. 11–13.

Wodehouse (2008) [1930], Very Good, Jeeves, chapter 5, pp. 125–126. Jeeves tells Bertie how to lure a dog using aniseed, and says that it is extensively used in the dog-stealing industry. He uses a Mickey Finn to incapacitate the unscrupulous Bingley.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 11, p. 123.

While he often stays on in spite of these radical objects, he can only withstand so much: the worst case is when he resigned after Bertie, privately labeling him as a "domestic Mussolini", resolved to study the banjolele in the countryside.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Thank You, Jeeves, chapter 1. Usually, Jeeves finds a way to help Bertie with a problem, and Bertie agrees to give away the item that Jeeves disapproves of. Even when Bertie and Jeeves are having a disagreement, Jeeves still shows sympathy, as much as he shows any emotion, when Bertie is in serious trouble.

This is the first story in which Jeeves uses foreign-language phrases, which regularly appear in his speech in later stories. He uses "sine qua non", "finesse", and "contretemps" in his opening paragraph in "Bertie Changes His Mind". Jeeves starts using less common foreign phrases and quotations in his speech later in Thank You, Jeeves, where Latin phrases and sentences become a motif (for instance, "Tempora mutandur nos et mutamur in illis", ch. 15). Additionally, this is the first story in which Bertie takes the source of a quotation from Jeeves to be an acquaintance of Jeeves, which also happens in later stories.

Charlie Silversmith's daughter Queenie Silversmith is Jeeves's cousin. Jeeves also mentions his late uncle Cyril in Right Ho, Jeeves. His niece Mabel is engaged to Bertie Wooster's friend Charles "Biffy" Biffen.

The story was also included in the 1923 collection The Inimitable Jeeves as two separate chapters, "Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum" and "No Wedding Bells for Bingo".Cawthorne (2013), p. 57.

"Certainly Jeeves never uses violence against Bertie, though he does—regretfully—get Aunt Dahlia to knock him out as part of the solution in 'Jeeves Makes an Omelet'." After Jeeves uses a cosh to knock out Constable Dobbs in The Mating Season, an astonished Bertie describes Jeeves as "something that would be gratefully accepted as a muscle guy by any gang on the lookout for new blood".Wodehouse (2008) [1949], The Mating Season, chapter 24, p. 235.

In 1998, Sketchley was acquired by Minit Group, the international key cutting and shoe repair brand. Then in 2003, the Jeeves business was purchased by Johnson Service Group which at the time, operated the largest chain of dry cleaners in the UK- Johnson Dry Cleaners. In 2017, the Timpson Group acquired the Johnson Dry Cleaners business for £8.25m, and thus acquired Jeeves of Belgravia and Jeeves International. Jeeves opened its first overseas branch in New York in 1979.

Berkeley Mansions, Berkeley Square, London W1, is a fictional Mayfair residential building in the Jeeves stories, being the residence of Bertie Wooster.

Wodehouse (2008) [1954], Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, chapter 3, pp. 36–37. In Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, he assumes an alias, calling himself Chief Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard. This alias is also mentioned in Aunts Aren't Gentlemen. Jeeves is a member of the Junior Ganymede Club, a London club for butlers and valets.

2), and Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (ch. 6). In the television series Jeeves and Wooster, Barmy was portrayed by Adam Blackwood in series one and by Martin Clunes in series two.

Bingo got the nerve specialist Sir Roderick Glossop, who has had several bizarre run-ins with Bertie, to verify this claim. Indignant to be made out to be mentally unsound, Bertie intends to fire Jeeves. He cannot bring himself to, however, when he considers how right it feels to see Jeeves in the flat. Instead, he simply thanks Jeeves.

Described as long and thin, Bingo is the only person other than Jeeves whom Bertie says has "finely-chiselled features".Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 5, p. 62. Bingo's loathing for country life is well known, and he generally avoids going to country houses when possible.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 5, p. 56.

However, later in the same novel, Jeeves tells Pauline that he doubts a union between her and Bertie would have been successful as Bertie is "essentially one of Nature's bachelors".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Thank You, Jeeves, chapter 18, p. 217. Though Jeeves frequently rescues Bertie from unwanted engagements, only rarely do they openly discuss the matter, as they both feel it would be unseemly to "bandy a woman's name" in such a way.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 5, p. 35.

Bertie, grateful, agrees to have it Jeeves's way. He does not object if he learns that Jeeves, foreseeing that Bertie would agree to give up the item, has already disposed of it. Bertie considers Jeeves to be a marvel, and wonders why Jeeves is content to work for him, stating, "It beats me sometimes why a man with his genius is satisfied to hang around pressing my clothes and what not".Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 2, p. 45.

16 and 19. Jeeves's > first appearance was in "Extricating Young Gussie", which was published in > 1915 the US. However, multiple Wodehouse reference books say that Jeeves > first appeared in 1916, possibly because that is when he first appeared in > both the US and the UK. In appearance, Jeeves is described as "tall and dark and impressive".Wodehouse (2008) [1953], Ring for Jeeves, chapter 4, p. 40. When they first meet in "Jeeves Takes Charge", Bertie describes Jeeves as "a kind of darkish sort of respectful Johnnie" with "a grave, sympathetic face" and a nearly silent way of walking that Bertie equates to a "healing zephyr".

The premise of the Jeeves stories is that the brilliant valet is firmly in control of his rich and unworldly young employer's life. Jeeves becomes Bertie Wooster's guardian and all-purpose problem solver, devising subtle plans to help Bertie and his friends with various problems. In particular, Jeeves extricates Bertie Wooster from engagements to formidable women whom Bertie reluctantly becomes engaged to, Bertie being unwilling to hurt a woman's feelings by turning her down. While Jeeves wants to keep Bertie from a fiancée whom he believes will not make Bertie happy, Jeeves also wants to keep his position, which he feels would be threatened by a wife.

Jarvis has performed the role of Jeeves in multiple radio dramas based on P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories, including the 1997 L.A. Theatre Works adaptation of The Code of the Woosters, the 2014 BBC radio adaptation of Ring for Jeeves, and the 2018 BBC radio adaptation of Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. He performs live dramatic readings of some of the stories in the intermittent radio series Jeeves Live! (2007–2020). In America, Jarvis and his wife Rosalind Ayres perform frequently in audio drama with the L.A. Theater Works and Hollywood Theater of the Ear. In 2011, he appeared in a Radio 4 production of Terence Rattigan's In Praise of Love.

Bertie states that he saw the normally imperturbable Jeeves come "very near to being rattled" for the first time when the sight of Bingo Little in a false beard caused Jeeves to drop his jaw and steady himself with a table in "Comrade Bingo".Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 12, p. 123-24. In Joy in the Morning, Bertie claims that the only occasion on which he had ever seen Jeeves "really rattled" was when he first met Bertie's friend Boko Fittleworth, who wears turtleneck sweaters and flannel trousers with a patch on the knee; Jeeves "winced visibly and tottered off" to recover his composure in the kitchen, where Bertie supposes Jeeves pulled himself together with cooking sherry.Wodehouse (2008) [1947], Joy in the Morning, chapter 6, p. 52.

Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 1, p. 9. Jeeves occasionally enjoys gambling, which is the reason he wishes to go to Monte Carlo in "Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit".

Aunt Dahlia implies that Jeeves is "maturer" than Bertie. On the other hand, Jeeves is young enough to be engaged to a waitress courted by Bingo Little, who is the same age as Bertie Wooster, in "Jeeves in the Springtime". In Ring for Jeeves, Jeeves is described as resembling "a youngish High Priest of a refined and dignified religion".Wodeshouse (2008) [1953], Ring for Jeeves, chapter 4, p. 40. In the reference work Wodehouse in Woostershire by Wodehouse scholars Geoffrey Jaggard and Tony Ring, it is speculated using information provided in the Jeeves canon that Bertie's age ranges from approximately 24 to 29 over the stories, and that Jeeves is roughly ten years older than Bertie, giving an age range of 35 to 40.Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 124–126. This happens to agree with a personal letter written in 1961 by P. G. Wodehouse to scholar Robert A. Hall, Jr., in which Wodehouse, explaining that his characters did not age with real life time, gave an approximate age for Jeeves: > Keggs in A Damsel in Distress is supposed to be the same man who appears in > The Butler Did It, but does it pan out all right? It doesn't if you go by > when the books were written.

Jeeves suggests that Bingo befriend Mary's younger brother, Wilfred. Bingo and Mary take Wilfred on walks, and things look promising. Bertie and Jeeves return to London. Bertie gets another telegram from Bingo, asking for help.

Particularly, Jeeves suggests books by the romance novelist Rosie M. Banks, which portray inter-class marriage as not only possible but noble. Bertie approves the scheme and asks Jeeves to fetch the books for Bingo.

In the story, Bertie's friend Bingo Little wants to marry a waitress, and asks for help from Bertie and Jeeves to get his uncle to approve of her. Jeeves suggests a plan involving romance novels.

This story was not adapted for any Jeeves and Wooster episode.

Andrew Sachs appeared as Jeeves and Marcus Brigstocke as Bertie Wooster.

Bertram Wilberforce Wooster is a fictional character in the comedic Jeeves stories created by British author P. G. Wodehouse. An amiable English gentleman and one of the "idle rich", Bertie appears alongside his valet, Jeeves, whose intelligence manages to save Bertie or one of his friends from numerous awkward situations. Bertie Wooster and Jeeves have been described as "one of the great comic double-acts of all time". Bertie is the narrator and central figure of most of the Jeeves short stories and novels.

In Ring for Jeeves, set in post-WWII England, Bertie attends a school that teaches the aristocracy basic skills, including boot-cleaning, sock- darning, bed-making and primary-grade cooking. This school does not allow its students to employ valets, so Jeeves cannot follow Bertie there and instead works as a butler for Lord Rowcester.Wodehouse (2008) [1953], Ring for Jeeves, chapter 5, p. 61. However, Bertie is eventually expelled for cheating after he pays a woman to do his sock darning, and Jeeves returns to his side.

It is also stated in this novel that Glossop still runs the clinic at Chuffnell Regis, and that Myrtle has become Lady Glossop, suggesting that they are married.Wodehouse (2008) [1960], Jeeves in the Offing, chapter 20, p. 190. Glossop is mentioned in the last Jeeves short story, "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird". Outside the Jeeves canon, Glossop appears in the Blandings Castle and Uncle Fred novel, Uncle Fred in the Springtime, in which he is impersonated by Pongo Twistleton's Uncle Fred at Blandings Castle.

Both of these stories are collected in Carry On, Jeeves. She is mentioned in "Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit" (in Very Good, Jeeves), in which Aunt Agatha's plan to have the engagement between Honoria and Bertie restored is preemptively thwarted by Jeeves.Cawthorne (2013), p. 75. Bertie finds himself engaged to Honoria a second time in the short story "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", after Bertie courts her to make the novelist Blair Eggleston jealous, hoping that Blair will be compelled to admit his feelings to Honoria.

Bertie dismisses Jeeves's concerns. Later, Bertie tells Jeeves that Bobbie proposed a clever scheme for his revenge. Bertie will tie a large darning needle to the end of a long stick, then sneak into Tuppy's room at night and puncture Tuppy's hot water bottle while he is asleep. Jeeves objects, but Bertie insists that Jeeves prepare the stick and needle.

An early prototype for Bertie Wooster is Reggie Pepper, who was very much like Bertie Wooster but without Jeeves, though it was Jeeves who ultimately took the name "Reggie". A valet called Jevons appears in Wodehouse's 1914 short story "Creatures of Impulse", and may have been an early prototype for Jeeves.Cawthorne (2013), p. 169. Like Jeeves, Jevons is described as the perfect valet.

All the other stories appeared in Cosmopolitan in the US between December 1921 and December 1922. This was the second collection of Jeeves stories, after My Man Jeeves (1919); the next collection would be Carry On, Jeeves, in 1925. All of the short stories are connected and most of them involve Bertie's friend Bingo Little, who is always falling in love.

In the Jeeves canon, Honoria gets engaged to Bertie Wooster twice. The first instance occurs sometime around the end of "Scoring off Jeeves". Bertie does not actually want to marry her, but he is too intimidated by Honoria, and by his Aunt Agatha who wants him to marry Honoria, to turn her down.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 7, pp. 72-74.

Jeeves works there temporarily in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. Brinkley is said to be modeled on Severn End, Hanley Castle, in Worcestershire. In the television series Jeeves and Wooster, exterior shots of Brinkley Court were filmed at Barnsley Park, Gloucestershire in series 1 and Hall Barn, Buckinghamshire in series 4. All interior shots of Brinkley Court were filmed at Wrotham Park, Hertfordshire.

1922 Strand illustration by A. Wallis Mills The ending of the story varies slightly between versions. In the original newspaper publications and in the collection The Jeeves Omnibus, when Bertie and Jeeves are fleeing Aunt Agatha's wrath, they go to the south of France; this leads into the events of "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count" during which Aunt Agatha follows Bertie to a hotel in France to scold him on his failure to marry Honoria.Cawthorne (2013), p. 57. In The Inimitable Jeeves, the story ends with Bertie and Jeeves fleeing to New York instead; this is followed by the events of "Jeeves and the Chump Cyril", which is set in New York.

He is the hero of the novel Ice in the Bedroom. He is mentioned in "Leave it to Algy". Freddie is mentioned in several Jeeves stories: Right Ho, Jeeves (ch. 22), The Code of the Woosters (ch.

Adapted from "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird" (collected in Plum Pie) and "Bingo and the Little Woman" (collected in The Inimitable Jeeves), all written by P. G. Wodehouse. The title was written for television by Clive Exton.

Before Jas enters Bertie's flat, Jeeves tells Bertie to hide behind the piano. Then Jeeves lies to Jas, claiming to be in Bertie's flat as the man in possession, or broker's man, for a wine company. (This means that Bertie's creditors have a legal right to Bertie's property until his debt is paid; Jeeves is employed to take possession of the property and watch over it until Bertie pays off his debt.) This stuns Jas, who thought Bertie was wealthy. Jeeves adds that Bertie is dependent on his aunt, Mrs.

As with his prize for scripture knowledge, Bertie is proud of this article and mentions it many times. Two other events that are particularly significant for Bertie are his short-lived interest in living with his nieces in "Bertie Changes His Mind" and his temporary separation from Jeeves when Bertie refused to stop playing his banjolele in Thank You, Jeeves. On several occasions, Bertie assumes an alias. After being arrested on Boat Race night, he calls himself Eustace H. Plimsoll when appearing in court (in Thank You, Jeeves and Right Ho, Jeeves).

On one occasion when she hears Bertie ask Jeeves for advice, she tells Jeeves to leave and then scolds Bertie, making remarks to him about "what she thought of a Wooster who could lower the prestige of the clan by allowing menials to get above themselves".Wodehouse (2008) [1930], Very Good, Jeeves, chapter 10, p. 260. Aunt Agatha first appears in "Extricating Young Gussie". This early story is usually not included in the main Jeeves canon (Bertie's surname appears to be Mannering-Phipps), though events in the story are referenced in future stories.

Jeeves works for Lord Chuffnell for a week in Thank You, Jeeves, after giving notice because of Bertie Wooster's unwillingness to give up the banjolele, and is briefly employed by J. Washburn Stoker in the same novel. He serves as substitute butler for Bertie's Aunt Dahlia in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, and later in the same story, he enters Sir Watkyn Bassett's employment for a short time as a trick to get Bertie Wooster released from jail. Jeeves is Lord Rowcester's butler for the length of Ring for Jeeves.Cawthorne (2013), pp. 173–174.

Over the course of the short stories and novels, Jeeves helps Bertie, frequently extricating him from unwanted engagements, and also assists Bertie's friends and relatives with various dilemmas. Jeeves often has another motive, such as disposing of an item recently acquired by Bertie that Jeeves does not like, for example a bright scarlet cummerbund. He sometimes receives a monetary reward from Bertie and other people he helps in early stories, though this does not occur in later stories. Bertie and Jeeves experience a variety of adventures in numerous short stories and novels.

Nonetheless, Jeeves's view of Bertie's intelligence has apparently softened by the first novel, when Jeeves says that Bertie "is, perhaps, mentally somewhat negligible, but he has a heart of gold".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Thank You, Jeeves, chapter 7, p. 82. At one point in the ninth novel, Jeeves actually commends Bertie's quick thinking, saying that Bertie's tactic of hiding from an antagonist behind a sofa "showed a resource and swiftness of thought which it would be difficult to overpraise".Wodehouse (2008) [1963], Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 21, p. 178.

Jeeves often tells Bertie about his machinations at the end of the stories, but does not always reveal everything to Bertie. This can be seen in the only story narrated by Jeeves, "Bertie Changes His Mind", in which Jeeves manipulates events without telling Bertie. The reader can infer some of Jeeves's offstage activity from subtle clues in Bertie's narrative. For example, in "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina", Bertie ends up in a tree while trespassing as part of a task outlined by the mischievous Bobbie Wickham, and is confronted by a policeman.

The Code of the Woosters is the third full-length novel to feature two of Wodehouse's best-known creations, Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. It introduces Sir Watkyn Bassett, the owner of a country house called Totleigh Towers where the story takes place, and his intimidating friend Roderick Spode. It is also a sequel to Right Ho, Jeeves, continuing the story of Bertie's newt-fancying friend Gussie Fink-Nottle and Gussie's droopy and overly sentimental fiancée, Madeline Bassett. Bertie and Jeeves return to Totleigh Towers in a later novel, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves.

Constable Oates is the local police officer. In the television series Jeeves and Wooster, Totleigh Towers was filmed at Highclere Castle. Totleigh Towers plays a larger role in the television series than in the original Jeeves canon, as it is used as a setting more frequently. In the television series, Totleigh is used as the setting for episodes adapting some of the events of "Jeeves Takes Charge", The Mating Season, and Much Obliged, Jeeves, though these stories originally had different settings (Easeby Hall, Deverill Hall, and Brinkley Court, respectively).

A reading of "Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit" by actor Martin Jarvis in front of an invited theatre audience was first aired on BBC Radio 4 as part of the Jeeves Live series on 17 December 2017.

The Teoma search engine was officially launched in April 2001. Ask Jeeves, Inc acquired Teoma on September 18, 2001 for over $1.5 million. On January 9, 2002, Ask Jeeves announced that it had integrated Teoma's search technology into Ask Jeeves. Teoma 2.0 was released on January 21, 2003, which boasted improvements to search result relevancy, additions to search tools and more advanced search functions.

Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, chapter 5, p. 45. However, there are inconsistencies between the stories that make it difficult to construct a timeline. For instance, it is stated in Jeeves in the Offing that Aunt Dahlia ran her paper for four years, and not three, as is shown in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit. Nonetheless, some scholars have attempted to create a rough timeline.

Please, Jeeves is a Japanese manga series adapted from the comedic Jeeves short stories written by English humourist P. G. Wodehouse. The series was translated from English to Japanese by Tamaki Morimura and was illustrated by Bun Katsuta. Originally serialized in the magazine Melody, it has been published in five volumes. The series stars the amiable and naive young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his brilliant valet Jeeves.

In 1994, the business opened its first branch in Hong Kong and then in 1995 Jeeves expanded to Jakarta. This international expansion has continued in recent years, with Jeeves now having branches in 13 countries around the world, including Hong Kong and Turkey. Jeeves has held a Royal Warrant for Dry Cleaning Services to HRH The Prince of Wales for more than 30 years.

Jeeves comes home after serving as a substitute butler at Brinkley Court, the country house of Bertie's Aunt Dahlia. She tells Bertie that Sir Watkyn Bassett was there and was impressed with Jeeves. Additionally, Sir Watkyn bragged about obtaining a black amber statuette to Aunt Dahlia's husband, Tom Travers, who is a rival collector. Jeeves dislikes Bertie's new blue Alpine hat with a pink feather.

"Bertie Takes Gussie's Place At Deverill Hall" is the fourth episode of the third series of the 1990s British comedy television series Jeeves and Wooster. It is also called "Right Ho! Jeeves". It first aired in the UK on on ITV. In the US, it was aired as the second episode of the second series of Jeeves and Wooster on Masterpiece Theatre, on 3 January 1993.

With the aid of Jeeves, Solare begins a hunt for Lane and Allysyn. During this journey, we learn of the language of the spiders and that Erzebet and Jeeves are both familiar with it. Erzebet leaves a trail of information through spider webs across the country side, allowing Jeeves to track her. Eventually the two warriors have their final clash outside a Brillianti church.

Jeeves comes to the club, and informs Bertie that Cyril is in prison. Bertie, Jeeves, and George go to the police station, and learn the hot-tempered Cyril had shoved a policeman. Bertie pays his bail. Cyril befriends George.

However, in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Bertie mentions that Rosie frequently sends Bingo to places to take notes for her, to help with atmosphere in her writing.Wodehouse (2008) [1954], Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, chapter 4, p. 40.

Aunt Dahlia is also on good terms with Bertie's valet Jeeves. Though at first she doubts his abilities, she quickly learns to appreciate his skill for solving problems.Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 9, pp. 228 and 251.

In 1986 he narrated Radio 4's Oh, yes it is!, a history of pantomime written by Gerald Frow. Between 1973 and 1981, Briers played Bertie Wooster in the radio series What Ho! Jeeves with Michael Hordern as Jeeves.

However, the liftman thanks Bertie for the purple socks, which Jeeves gave him.

Burcot is home to the business that developed the search engine "Ask Jeeves".

Adapted from Thank You, Jeeves. Chuffnell Regis parts were filmed in Clovelly, Devon.

The story's title is sometimes written as "Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit" or "Jeeves and the Yuletide Spirit". It was illustrated by Charles Crombie in the Strand and by Wallace Morgan in Liberty.McIlvaine (1990), p. 151, E36.33, and p.

Dame Daphne was featured in one episode of the 1990–1993 British TV series Jeeves and Wooster adapting The Mating Season (episode #15 "Right Ho! Jeeves", fourth of season three, aired 19 April 1992 in the UK), played by Rosalind Knight.

In "Jeeves and the Song of Songs", Tuppy, who is engaged to Bertie's favourite cousin, Angela Travers, leaves her for the opera singer Cora Bellinger. Bertie and Jeeves are asked by Bertie's Aunt Dahlia, who is Angela's mother, to make sure that he goes back to Angela. Jeeves is successful. Similarly, in "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy", Tuppy falls for the athletic Miss Dalgleish but ultimately returns to Angela.

Jeeves tells Bertie about a former employer who once gave a loan, with a pearl necklace as security, to a con man named Soapy Sid and his female accomplice. Soapy Sid swapped the case of pearls for an empty one, and used the receipt to demand reimbursement. Jeeves confirms that Sidney is Soapy Sid. Fortunately, Jeeves surreptitiously retrieved the case of pearls while helping Sidney with his jacket.

Bertie sees him fishing in Joy in the Morning.Wodehouse (2008) [1947], Joy in the Morning, chapter 20, p. 184. Appreciating travel in general, Jeeves wants to go on a cruise in two different stories, "The Spot of Art" and The Code of the Woosters. Jeeves claims that travel is educational, though Bertie suspects that Jeeves has a Viking strain and "yearns for the tang of the salt breezes".

An example of this occurs in "The Artistic Career of Corky", when Jeeves comes up with a plan to help Bertie's friend Corky. Jeeves says his plan "cannot fail of success" but has a drawback in that it "requires a certain financial outlay". Bertie explains to Corky that Jeeves means "he has got a pippin of an idea, but it's going to cost a bit".Hall (1974), p. 91–94.

Dennis Price portrayed Jeeves as an older, stiff, dignified figure, regarding himself as superior to the proceedings around him, rather than being more involved like the canonical Jeeves. Additionally, changes were made to the dialogue and situations to increase the tension between Jeeves and Aunt Agatha.Taves (2006), p. 114. The series was successful, but after twenty episodes, Carmichael and others believed that they had adapted all the stories suitable for television.

Jeeves realized that the stray cat actually belongs to his aunt. Bertie and Jeeves make a deal with Cook to lend him the cat until the race is over and not press charges for tying Bertie up, in exchange for Cook paying Mrs. Pigott a fee and giving Orlo his inheritance. Bertie and Jeeves go to New York, which Bertie finds much calmer and quieter than Maiden Eggesford.

Jeeves missed another 14 weeks of football in 1950 with an injured ankle but this time recovered before the finals and lined up at centre half-forward in the VFL Grand Final.The Age,"Test for Jeeves", 8 June 1950, p. 1 He had an uninterrupted season in 1951, playing all 18 games. During the 1954 season, having not played a game the previous year, Jeeves was granted a clearance to Moorabbin.

J. Jeeves was an English footballer who played as a defender for Sheffield United.

Many of the stories had previously appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, and some were rewritten versions of stories in the collection My Man Jeeves (1919). The book is considered part of the Jeeves canon. The first story in the book, "Jeeves Takes Charge", describes Jeeves' arrival in his master's life, as a replacement for Wooster's previous, thieving valet, and features Lady Florence Craye, as well as a passing mention of Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle. Several of the other stories are set in New York, and the book includes appearances by regular characters Bingo Little, Aunt Dahlia, Anatole, and Sir Roderick Glossop.

92–94 > "I balanced a thoughtful lump of sugar on the teaspoon." —Joy in the > Morning, Chapter 5 "As I sat in the bath-tub, soaping a meditative foot ..." > —Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Chapter 1 "The first thing he did was to prod > Jeeves in the lower ribs with an uncouth forefinger." —Much Obliged, Jeeves, > Chapter 4 Wordplay is a key element in Wodehouse's writing. This can take the form of puns, such as in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, when Bertie is released after a night in the police cells, and says that he has "a pinched look" about him.

Florence is furious with Bertie and ends their engagement. Distressed, Bertie questions Jeeves, who admits sending the parcel to the publishers. He says Florence overestimated the offensiveness of Sir Willoughby's "Recollections". When Jeeves shows no sympathy about the broken engagement, Bertie fires him.

He likes living a leisurely, quiet life and appreciates small things in his day, such as the oolong tea (which he sometimes calls Bohea) that Jeeves brings to him every morning.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 1, chapter 9, p.

His cousin Egbert is a constable and plays a role in the short story "Without the Option".Garrison (1991), pp. 96–98. Jeeves has three placid aunts, in contrast to Bertie Wooster's aunts.Wodehouse (2008) (1971), Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 12, p. 126.

Cawthorne (2013), pp. 67, 70. In "Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit" (in Very Good, Jeeves), he is the unintended victim of a prank when Bertie punctures his hot water bottle. In this story, Glossop mentions that he is nervous about fires.

This story was not adapted for an episode by the Jeeves and Wooster television series.

It also appeared in the British TV series Jeeves and Wooster sung by Hugh Laurie.

"Jeeves Saves the Cow-Creamer" aired as the fourth episode of the fourth series instead.

"Chuffy" aired as the second episode of the fourth series of Jeeves and Wooster instead.

Bertie is approximately 24 years old when he first meets Jeeves in "Jeeves Takes Charge".Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 1. Bertie recounts a story in which he was fifteen years old, and later mentions that this story occurred nine years before, meaning that he is approximately 24 years old in "Jeeves Takes Charge". His age is not stated in any other story. In the reference work Wodehouse in Woostershire by Wodehouse scholars Geoffrey Jaggard and Tony Ring, it is speculated that Bertie's age ranges from approximately 24 to 29 over the course of the stories.Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 124–126. Nigel Cawthorne, author of A Brief Guide to Jeeves and Wooster, also suggested that Bertie is approximately 29 at the end of the saga.Cawthorne (2013), p. 160.

In Jeeves in the Offing, she hires Sir Roderick Glossop to pretend to be a butler at Brinkley Court so he can investigate the sanity of a man courting her goddaughter Phyllis Mills. In Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, she tells Bertie about how Sir Watkyn Bassett bragged about obtaining a black amber statuette. In "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", a story that takes place before the sale of Milady's Boudoir, the writer Blair Eggleston writes for the magazine, and Aunt Dahlia and Jeeves save Bertie from the underhanded theatrical agent Jas Waterbury. In Much Obliged, Jeeves, she provides her house as a base of operations for the candidacy of Harold "Ginger" Winship, and she wants the businessman L. P. Runkle to pay Tuppy money that she feels Runkle owes him.

This can be seen in "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird": > "Oh, Jeeves," I said, "I hope I'm not interrupting you when you were curled > up with Spinoza's Ethics or whatever it is, but I wonder if you could spare > me a moment of your valuable time." > "Certainly, sir."Thompson (1992), pp.. 125–126. The story presents a rare instance of Jeeves telling an actual joke, which he does while pretending to be a broker's man.

Jeeves answers that there are three cats in Bertie's bedroom, and they are noisy because they found the fish being kept under the bed. Sir Roderick is shocked, and moves to leave. When Bertie offers to follow Sir Roderick, Jeeves hands Bertie a hat, which is too big for him; it is Sir Roderick's stolen hat. Aghast, Sir Roderick takes the hat and exits, asking Jeeves to follow and tell him more about Bertie.

Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 12. On multiple occasions, Bertie states that Jeeves has "finely chiselled features", and a large head, which seems to Bertie to indicate intelligence. As Bertie says, Jeeves is "a godlike man in a bowler hat with grave, finely chiselled features and a head that stuck out at the back, indicating great brain power".Wodehouse (2008) [1949], The Mating Season, chapter 23, p. 219.

Biffy comes to Jeeves for help, but Jeeves, who happens to be the Mabel's uncle, and misunderstands Biffy's intentions, does not wish to help. Mabel is now a British burlesque dancer and showgirl who performs in the theatre. At the end Jeeves produces a plan to get Biffy and Mabel together and suggests to Biffy that he may go to the theatre. Disaster ensues when Biffy sees Mabel dancing and singing in the theatre.

Donald Hewlett voiced Major Brabazon-Plank in the 1994 BBC radio adaptation of Uncle Dynamite. Major Plank was portrayed by Norman Rodway in the Jeeves and Wooster episode "Trouble at Totleigh Towers". Ronald Fraser portrayed Major Plank in the 1980–1981 radio dramatisation of Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, part of the BBC radio series What Ho! Jeeves. The character was voiced by Michael York in the 2018 BBC radio dramatisation of the same novel.

31–33, A21. The plots of three of these early stories were re-worked to feature other Wodehouse characters. "Helping Freddie" was rewritten as the Jeeves story "Fixing it for Freddie" (1925), "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good" was rewritten as the Jeeves story "Jeeves Makes an Omelette" (1958), and "Rallying Round Old George" was rewritten as the Mr Mulliner story "George and Alfred" (1966). "The Test Case" was included in The Uncollected Wodehouse (1976).

Stephen Fry (left) as Jeeves and Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster. Jeeves and Wooster is a British comedy-drama television series adapted by Clive Exton from P. G. Wodehouse's "Jeeves" stories. The series was a collaboration between Brian Eastman of Picture Partnership Productions and Granada Television. It aired on the ITV network from 22 April 1990 to 20 June 1993, with the last series nominated for a British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series.

The Code of the Woosters was adapted into a radio drama in 1973 as part of the series What Ho! Jeeves starring Michael Hordern as Jeeves and Richard Briers as Bertie Wooster. L.A. Theatre Works dramatised The Code of the Woosters in 1997, with Martin Jarvis as Jeeves (and Roderick Spode) and Mark Richard as Bertie Wooster. On 9 April 2006, BBC Radio 4 broadcast The Code of the Woosters as its Classic Serial.

" In Ryan North's webcomic Dinosaur Comics, T-Rex discusses propinquity. In the P. G. Wodehouse novel Right Ho, Jeeves, Bertie asks, "What do you call it when two people of opposite sexes are bunged together in close association in a secluded spot meeting each other every day and seeing a lot of each other?" to which Jeeves replies, "Is 'propinquity' the word you wish, sir?" Bertie: "It is. I stake everything on propinquity, Jeeves.

W.C. Fields used the pseudonym Mahatma Kane Jeeves when writing the script for The Bank Dick (1940), in a play on both the word "Mahatma" and a phrase an aristocrat might use when addressing a servant, before leaving the house: "My hat, my cane, Jeeves".

A week later at the flat, Bertie comments how pleasant the status quo is. Jeeves asks if Bertie has found a suitable house where he can live with his sister and three nieces. With a shudder, Bertie tells Jeeves that he has changed his mind.

Jeeves of Belgravia (or Jeeves) is a British multinational retailer which offers specialist dry cleaning, garment and accessories care services. The company is based in London and currently has over 30 branches in 14 cities around the world, including; London, New York, and Hong Kong.

Adapted from the book Right Ho, Jeeves, by P. G. Wodehouse and dramatized by Clive Exton.

He illustrated more Jeeves short stories for their original UK magazine publications than any other artist.

He is a close friend of Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps, and the two always perform a "cross-talk" act written by Catsmeat Potter- Pirbright at the annual Drones smoker event. Pongo Twistleton appears in the novels Uncle Fred in the Springtime, Uncle Dynamite, Cocktail Time, and Service With a Smile as well as in the short stories "Uncle Fred Flits By" and "Tried in the Furnace". Pongo is a friend of fellow Drone Bertie Wooster and is mentioned in several Jeeves stories: Right Ho, Jeeves (chapters 1, 8, 10, and 23), The Mating Season (chapter 2), Ring for Jeeves (chapter 4), and Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (chapter 13).

Though they are not friendly towards each other in the early stories, Glossop bonds with Bertie in Thank You, Jeeves (1934) when they both have to endure going about the countryside wearing blackface. As Bertie tells Jeeves, "From now on, there will always be a knife and fork for Bertram at the Glossop lair, and the same for Roddy chez Bertram".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Thank You, Jeeves, chapter 17, p. 208. Inconsistencies in the relationship between Bertie and Glossop arise in the later novel Jeeves in the Offing (1960), as they do not seem to be on terms of friendship in the beginning of the story.

Thompson (1992), p. 252. Bertie is shown to have an idealistic nature, which contrasts with Jeeves's more pragmatic views. This is illustrated in chapter 15, when Bertie tries to persuade Aunt Dahlia to return a silver porringer because stealing it was a breach of hospitality, while Jeeves merely states that no useful end will be accomplished by retaining the object. The unscrupulous Bingley's behaviour suggests to some degree what Jeeves might be like if he were entirely amoral (Jeeves, like Bingley, uses the club book for blackmail purposes), and shows how Bertie's innocence redeems the dishonorable tactics used by Jeeves by giving them an altruistic and honorable goal.

For instance, Wodehouse added "I feel full to the brim of Vitamin B" to Bertie's dialogue near the beginning of the first chapter.Thompson (1992), p. 85–86. Schwed changed the ending of Much Obliged, Jeeves for the American edition because he believed that Jeeves would not damage the club book by tearing out Bertie's pages "without a rational explanation", and drafted a longer Wodehouse-style ending, in which Jeeves explains that the book's entry on Bertie is unnecessary because he will remain permanently with Bertie. Wodehouse worked Schwed's version into the ending of the American edition, which uses the title suggested by Schwed, Jeeves and the Tie That Binds.

Dahlia Travers (née Wooster) is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories of English comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being best known as Bertie Wooster's bonhomous, red-faced Aunt Dahlia. She is much beloved by her nephew, in contrast with her sister, Bertie's Aunt Agatha. Proprietor of the weekly newspaper for women Milady's Boudoir, she is married to Tom Travers, mother of Angela Travers and Bonzo Travers, and employs the supremely gifted French chef Anatole at her country house, Brinkley Court. Aside from Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, Aunt Dahlia appears in more Jeeves novels, and more Jeeves stories overall, than any other character.

Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves was adapted for radio in 1980–1981 as part of the BBC series What Ho! Jeeves starring Michael Hordern as Jeeves and Richard Briers as Bertie Wooster. It was adapted as a two-part radio drama in 2018, with Martin Jarvis as Jeeves, James Callis as Bertie Wooster, Joanna Lumley as Aunt Dahlia, Adam Godley as Roderick Spode, Michael York as Major Plank, Ian Ogilvy as Sir Watkyn Bassett, Julian Sands as the Rev. Harold Pinker, Moira Quirk as Stiffy Byng, Elizabeth Knowelden as Madeline Bassett, Matthew Wolf as Gussie Fink-Nottle, Tara Lynne Barr as Emerald Stoker, and Kenneth Danziger as Cyril and Butterfield.

The story was adapted for the third episode of the first series of The World of Wooster. The episode, titled "Jeeves and the Great Sermon Handicap", originally aired on 13 June 1965. This story was not adapted for an episode by the Jeeves and Wooster television series.

92, and chapter 10, p. 111. Bertie also refers to his tea as "oolong" or "Bohea" in Very Good, Jeeves chapter 3, Right Ho, Jeeves chapter 4, and Joy in the Morning chapter 5. Bertie never refers to his tea as anything other than "oolong" or "Bohea".

At the same time, Tricoville also bought a 10% stake in Jeeves of Belgravia International, for £80,000. Jeeves was sold to Sketchley in 1987. The Sketchley retail business operated its own chain of high street dry cleaners, as well as owning the SupaSnaps photo processing chain.

"Jeeves and the Chump Cyril" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in the Saturday Evening Post in New York in June 1918, and in The Strand Magazine in London in August 1918. It was also included in the 1923 collection The Inimitable Jeeves as two separate chapters, "A Letter of Introduction" and "Startling Dressiness of a Lift Attendant".Cawthorne (2013), p. 51.

Another way the novel is similar to other late Jeeves novels is that Bertie and Jeeves feud over one specific thing but cooperate in every other way, and their disagreement serves as an amusing plot point without being structurally crucial as in the early Jeeves novels.Thompson (1992), pp. 228–230. One of the stylistic devices Wodehouse uses for comic effect is the transferred epithet, as in chapter 11: "He waved a concerned cigar".Hall (1974), p. 86.

54–58, 64–65. These stories are in The Inimitable Jeeves. Aunt Agatha wants to get Bertie a job in "Jeeves and the Impending Doom", tries to get Bertie engaged to Honoria again in "Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit", and instructs Bertie to keep his uncle, George Wooster, Lord Yaxley, from marrying an unsuitable woman in "Indian Summer of an Uncle". Her pet dog McIntosh, an Aberdeen terrier, is featured in "Episode of the Dog McIntosh".

He regularly rescues Bertie, usually from an unwanted marriage but also from other threats, such as when he saves Bertie from a hostile swan or when he pulls Bertie out of the way of a taxi.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 4, pp. 32–34. Proud of being a valet, Jeeves is evidently offended when a revolutionary tells him that servants are outdated in "Comrade Bingo".Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 12, p. 126.

Jeeves, planning in the background, can estimate the extent of Bertie's mistakes in advance and incorporate them into his own plan in the end.Usborne (2003), p. 86. Wodehouse has Jeeves consistently use a very formal manner of speaking, while Bertie's speech mixes formal and informal language. These different styles are frequently used to create humour in the stories, such as when Bertie has to translate Jeeves's erudite speech for one of his pals who is not familiar with Jeeves.

Spode realises he would prefer to stay in the produce-free House of Lords and chooses to keep his title. He and Madeline reconcile. Finally, Jeeves reveals secrets about Runkle written about him by Bingley in the club book, preventing him from pressing charges against Bertie, and also forcing him to give Tuppy his legacy. Noting that Bingley was able to steal the club book, Bertie again asks Jeeves to destroy the eighteen pages that Jeeves wrote about Bertie.

1922 Strand illustration by A. Wallis Mills Jeeves's narration is somewhat more informal in the original version of the story. One major difference between the magazine version and the Carry On, Jeeves version is that Jeeves regularly refers to Bertie as "the guv'nor" in the earlier version, though he never uses this term in Carry On, Jeeves, usually referring to him as "Mr. Wooster" instead. A. Wallis Mills illustrated this story in the Strand.McIlvaine (1990), p.

Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 2, p. 16. She is "a large, genial soul", and Bertie praises "her humanity, sporting qualities, and general good-eggishness".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 4, p. 39. Though typically friendly, she is capable, with effort, of going into an authoritative "grande dame act" if the situation calls for it, assuming a serious expression and cold, aristocratic tone.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 15, pp. 172-173.

Aunt Dahlia agrees. Grateful to Jeeves, Bertie gives up the Darts Tournament for a trip to Florida.

Jeeves finally sorts out all the fractured relationships with a plan to set off the fire alarm.

Bittlesham is angry with Bertie and Bingo for fooling him. Rosie is also upset with Bertie for pretending to be her. Jeeves suggests that Bertie go hunting in Norfolk while Jeeves stays behind to sort things out. Bertie does not enjoy himself in Norfolk and returns to London.

129-130, B33a. The British edition of the Reggie Pepper story was featured, under the American edition title "Brother Alfred", in the collection Enter Jeeves, published in 1997 by Dover Publications. This collection includes all the Reggie Pepper stories and several early Jeeves stories.Wodehouse (1997), pp. ii-v.

Jeeves presents the ideal image of the gentlemanly manservant, being highly competent, dignified, and respectful. He speaks intelligently and correctly, using proper titles for members of the nobility. One of his skills is moving silently and unobtrusively from room to room. According to Bertie, Jeeves noiselessly "floats" and "shimmers".

Bertie's insistence on playing the trombone drives Jeeves to give notice. Bertie hires a less satisfactory valet, Brinkley. Bertie's friend, Lord Chuffnell or "Chuffy", quickly snaps Jeeves up. Bertie rents a country cottage from Chuffy in Chuffy's family-owned village of Chufnell Regis in Devon, and practices his trombone.

Jeeves later says that after Bertie left, Gussie suggested that the winner of the Scripture knowledge prize, young G. G. Simmons, was "well known to the police" and that there was a "guilty liaison" between the headmaster and Simmons's mother. The incident was only concluded when the headmaster instructed the organist to play, and the national anthem was sung.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 17, pp. 212–13. Gussie's grammar school speech is referenced in Jeeves in the Offing.

"Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch" (also published as "Jeeves the Blighter") is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in March 1922, and then in Cosmopolitan in New York in April 1922. The story was also included in the 1923 collection The Inimitable Jeeves as two separate chapters, "Introducing Claude and Eustace" and "Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch".Cawthorne (2013), p. 55.

"Scoring off Jeeves" (also published as "Bertie Gets Even") is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in February 1922, and then in Cosmopolitan in New York in March 1922. The story was also included in the 1923 collection The Inimitable Jeeves as two separate chapters, "The Pride of the Woosters Is Wounded" and "The Hero's Reward".Cawthorne (2013), p. 54.

Thereafter, Bertie happily cedes much of the control of his life to the competent Jeeves, despite the occasional clashes that sometimes occur "when two men of iron will live in close association", according to Bertie.Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 1, p. 8. These clashes generally occur because Bertie insists on wearing a new jacket, tie, or some other item that Jeeves disapproves of, though Bertie agrees to give up the item after Jeeves saves him from trouble.

Jeeves generally manipulates situations for the better and is described as "a kindly man" in Ring for Jeeves.Wodehouse (2008) [1953], Ring for Jeeves, chapter 19, p. 211. However, he does influence Bertie's decisions to suit his own preferences, such as when he causes Bertie to change his mind about living with his nieces in "Bertie Changes His Mind". Jeeves is also stubborn when opposing a new item that Bertie has taken a liking to, such as an alpine hat or purple socks.

Ian Carmichael (left) as Bertie Wooster and Dennis Price as Jeeves The World of Wooster is a comedy television series, based on the Jeeves stories by author P. G. Wodehouse. The television series starred Ian Carmichael as English gentleman Bertie Wooster and Dennis Price as Bertie's valet Jeeves. The series aired on BBC Television from 1965 until 1967 in three series. Like many other British television series of the time, much of the series was lost as a result of wiping.

Ordinarily, Jeeves does not make mistakes and is ultimately rewarded by Bertie in some way; in this novel, Jeeves makes a mistake believing that the club book is secure while Bertie predicts correctly that the book will be used for blackmail, and Jeeves rewards Bertie in the end by destroying the eighteen pages he had recorded about Bertie in the book.Thompson (1992), pp. 247–248, 295–296. Wodehouse frequently repeats the same information in two or more ways for comic effect.

Bobbie was educated at St. Monica's school at Bingley-on-Sea. She enjoys pranking others, and generally creates trouble, both intentionally and otherwise, in the stories she appears in. Bertie Wooster is in love with her in one story, "Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit", though Bertie's valet Jeeves does not think she would be a suitable partner for Bertie. Jeeves is concerned by her frivolous nature, as well as her vivid red hair, which he considers a dangerous sign.

In "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina" she tells Bertie to return her cousin kid Clementina to school. As Clementina is out without permission, Bobbie tells Bertie to use a method involving a flower pot and string to sneak Clementina into school. These three short stories are collected in Very Good, Jeeves. Bobbie's last appearance is in the novel Jeeves in the Offing, in which Bertie is alarmed by an announcement in The Times stating that he is engaged to Bobbie.

Because of this, Stiffy no longer needs the statuette, which she stole a second time to blackmail Sir Watkyn, so she gives it to Jeeves to return it. Hiding from Plank behind a sofa, Bertie overhears Spode and Jeeves convince Madeline that Bertie did not come to Totleigh Towers for love of her but rather because he wanted to steal the statuette, which Jeeves says he found among Bertie's belongings. Madeline decides not to marry Bertie. Spode proposes to Madeline and she accepts.

Wilmot does not want her to find out what he has done. He turns to Jeeves for help.

Right Ho, Jeeves is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, the second full-length novel featuring the popular characters Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, after Thank You, Jeeves. It was first published in the United Kingdom on 5 October 1934 by Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on 15 October 1934 by Little, Brown and Company, Boston, under the title Brinkley Manor. It had also been sold to the Saturday Evening Post, in which it appeared in serial form from 23 December 1933 to 27 January 1934, and in England in the Grand Magazine from April to September 1934. Wodehouse had already started planning this sequel while working on Thank You, Jeeves.

The daughter of Sir Watkyn Bassett and the cousin of Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng, Madeline has golden hair, a treacly voice, a tinkling, silvery laugh and when she sighs, it sounds "like the wind going out of a rubber duck".Garrison (1991), p. 10.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 10, p. 112. Bertie Wooster describes her in Right Ho, Jeeves as "a pretty enough girl in a droopy, blonde, saucer-eyed way but not the sort of breath-taker that takes the breath", though elsewhere he describes her as "physically in the pin-up class".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 19.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 9.

Throughout the stories, Bertie learns literary quotations from Jeeves and renders them with informal language. One of the quotations Bertie learns from Jeeves is "all his men looked at each other with a wild surmise, silent upon a peak in Darien" (from "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer"), which Jeeves first mentions in the first chapter of Thank You, Jeeves. Bertie references this quotation many times, as in chapter 19 of Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, when he sees the stolen cat wandering in while Cook and Plank are on the premises: "I looked at it with a wild surmise, as silent as those bimbos upon the peak in Darien".Thompson (1992), p. 301.

The plot revolves around Bertie Wooster deciding to stage a one-man show revolving around his recent experiences at a country house called Totleigh Towers (the events of The Code of the Woosters), only to discover, as he is starting the show, that he needs help to tell the story. He enlists his valet Jeeves to assist on very short notice, though Jeeves anticipated that Bertie would need help and has prepared some scenery. Jeeves has also asked Seppings, the butler of Bertie's aunt, to help stage the production. Problems arise both in the story Bertie is narrating and the play as it is being performed, and Jeeves intervenes to make sure all ends well.

Tending to be unworldly and naive, Bertie is tricked by con artists in "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count" and "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", though Jeeves could have warned him earlier on during the former occasion and he was driven by desperation in the latter circumstances; in Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, he realizes he is being tricked by a man named Graham, but is unable to avoid paying Graham anyway. He is not interested in global affairs or politics, and advises Jeeves to miss as many political debates as possible in order to live a happy and prosperous life.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 15, p. 176. Usually modest about his intelligence, Bertie states, "I know perfectly well that I've got, roughly speaking, half the amount of brain a normal bloke ought to possess",Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 7, p. 184.

"Voorhees (1966), pp. 166–167 Bertie Wooster's half- forgotten vocabulary also provides a further humorous device. In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit Bertie asks Jeeves "Let a plugugly like young Thos loose in the community with a cosh, and you are inviting disaster and ... what's the word? Something about cats.

Jeeves was an amateur player registered with Sheffield Club when he began appearing as a guest player for Sheffield United towards the end of their first season in existence. Although primarily appearing in friendly fixtures Jeeves did play for The Blades in both the FA Cup and the Midland Counties League.

He is also seen listening while Bingo Little confides in Bertie Wooster in the Jeeves story "Scoring off Jeeves", and appears in the Freddie Threepwood story "Life with Freddie". Wodehouse named McGarry after a real bartender who worked at one of the clubs that inspired the Drones Club, Buck's Club.

" > "That was it, sir. Mr. Runkle is a twenty-minute egg."Here, a "twenty-minute > egg" means a "hard-boiled egg", or in other words, a "hard man". Jeeves repeats the phrase in chapter 15, when Bertie remembers that Jeeves put the odds at a hundred-to-one: > "Approximately that, sir.

Thompson (1992), pp. 55–56. Bingley was introduced under the name "Brinkley" in the 1934 novel Thank You, Jeeves. His name was apparently changed due to the potential for confusion with this story's setting at Brinkley Court. In the novel, Bertie initially does call him "Brinkley", though Jeeves soon corrects him.

Bertie stammers, and only manages to mention a gambling tip and a story about a stockbroker and a chorus girl, which upsets Miss Tomlinson. Jeeves leaves to ready the car. Soon, Bertie comes to ask if the car is ready. Jeeves replies that he has just finished fixing the car.

I often go to ROSHERVILLE!", to which Lady Sangazure responds "Love me! that joy I'll share!". It is referred to in P. G. Wodehouse's first Jeeves story, Jeeves Takes Charge: "There is a story about Sir Stanley Gervase-Gervase at Rosherville Gardens which is ghastly in its perfection of detail.

The first Please, Jeeves story was published in the April 2008 issue of Melody and was an immediate hit.

Jeeves reveals the secret pseudonym "Eulalie" and finds a way of keeping Spode from beating Bertie into a jelly.

In the face of this chaos, Bertie admits his inability to cope, and appeals to Jeeves for advice. Jeeves arranges for Bertie to be absent for a few hours, and during that time swiftly and ingeniously solves all the problems, assuring that Angela and Tuppy are reconciled, that Gussie and Madeline become engaged again, that Anatole withdraws his resignation, and that Uncle Tom writes Aunt Dahlia a cheque for 500 pounds. Bertie learns his lesson and resolves to let Jeeves have his way in the future.

To form his plans, Jeeves often studies "the psychology of the individual" or the personality of one or more people involved in the situation.Wodehouse (2008) [1930], Very Good, Jeeves, chapter 4, p. 98. Jeeves says that studying "the psychology of the individual" is essential to solving problems, and that this means studying "the natures and dispositions of the principals in the matter". His mental prowess is attributed to eating fish, according to Bertie Wooster, who credits the phosphorus content in the fish with boosting Jeeves's brain power.

Jeeves does not try to argue this claim, though at least once he says he does not eat a lot of fish,Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 5, p. 137. and in one conversation, Bertie states that he favours kippers, while Jeeves prefers ham.Wodehouse (2008) [1949], The Mating Season, chapter 8, p. 87. One of Jeeves's greatest skills is making a special drink of his own invention, a strong beverage which momentarily stuns one's senses but is very effective in curing hangovers.

When Bertie learns his Aunt Dahlia is going to have lunch with Glossop, Bertie states that Glossop "was a man I would not have cared to lunch with myself".Wodehouse (2008) [1960], Jeeves in the Offing, chapter 1, p. 8. However, they become friends in Jeeves in the Offing, after they bond over their realization that they each stole biscuits from the school headmaster's study as children. They start addressing each other as "Bertie" and "Roddy".Wodehouse (2008) [1960], Jeeves in the Offing, chapter 10, p. 104.

"Jeeves Makes an Omelette" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in the Star Weekly in Canada in August 1958. The story was also included in the 1959 collection A Few Quick Ones.Cawthorne (2013), p. 87.

In 2017, John Banville published Mrs. Osmond, a sequel to Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady, written in a style similar to that of James. In 2018, Ben Schott published Jeeves and the King of Clubs, an homage to P. G. Wodehouse's character Jeeves, with the blessing of the Wodehouse estate.

BBC radio adapted the story for radio again in 1988. David Suchet portrayed Jeeves and Simon Cadell portrayed Bertie Wooster.

As Bertie notes in the story in which Bingo first appears, "Jeeves in the Springtime", Bingo is especially prone to fall in love in the spring, which acts on him like magic.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 12. Bingo falls in love on a regular basis throughout The Inimitable Jeeves, and each time, he enthusiastically tells Bertie about whoever he has fallen in love with; Bertie notes that Bingo always reminds him of "the hero of a musical comedy who takes the centre of the stage, gathers the boys round him in a circle, and tells them all about his love at the top of his voice".Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 5, p. 57.

Jeeves uses his knowledge and connections to solve problems inconspicuously.Cawthorne (2013), p. 173. Richard Usborne, a leading scholar of the life and works of Wodehouse, describes Jeeves as a "godlike prime mover" and "master brain who is found to have engineered the apparent coincidence or coincidences".Wodehouse at Work to the End, Richard Usborne 1976.

"Pearls Mean Tears" is the third episode of the second series of the 1990s British comedy television series Jeeves and Wooster. It is also called "The Con". It first aired in the UK on on ITV. In the US, the episode was aired as the first episode of the fourth series of Jeeves and Wooster.

Travers, and that he pretends to be Bertie's valet so that Bertie will not get in trouble with his aunt. Aunt Dahlia enters, acting shocked to find out that Jeeves is a broker's man, and declares that she will send Bertie off to Canada, with nothing left to pay Jas. Convinced that he can get no money from Bertie, Jas leaves. Bertie thanks Jeeves and Aunt Dahlia, and reluctantly agrees to play Santa Claus for his aunt, but Jeeves suggests that Sir Roderick would make a better Santa Claus.

The Jeeves canon is set in a floating timeline (with each story being set at the time when it was written though the characters do not age), in an idealized world where wars are downplayed or not mentioned. Certain Edwardian era elements, such as traditional gentlemen's clubs like the Drones Club, continue to be prevalent throughout the stories. With a few exceptions, the short stories were written first, followed by the novels. The saga begins chronologically in the short story "Jeeves Takes Charge", in which Bertie Wooster first hires Jeeves.

Bertie and Jeeves usually live at Berkeley Mansions, though they also go to New York and numerous English country houses. Throughout the short stories and novels, Bertie tries to help his friends and relatives, but ends up becoming entangled in trouble himself, and is ultimately rescued by Jeeves. Typically, Bertie has a new piece of clothing or item that Jeeves disapproves of, though Bertie agrees to relinquish it at the end of the story. Almost always narrating the story, Bertie becomes involved in many complex and absurd situations.

He is also brought to court after tripping a policeman in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, and calls himself Ephraim Gadsby. In one scene in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, he is said to be a thief named Alpine Joe, which is mentioned again in Aunts Aren't Gentlemen. He also impersonates three other people in different stories, namely Rosie M. Banks in "Jeeves in the Springtime" and "Bingo and the Little Woman", Oliver "Sippy" Sipperley in "Without the Option", and Gussie Fink-Nottle in The Mating Season.Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 129.

While working for Bertie Wooster, he occasionally pretends to be the valet of one of Bertie's friends as part of some scheme, though he is still actually Bertie's valet. He pretends to be the valet of Bicky Bickersteth in "Jeeves and the Hard-boiled Egg", Rocky Todd in "The Aunt and the Sluggard", and Gussie Fink- Nottle when Gussie masquerades as Bertie Wooster in The Mating Season.Cawthorne (2013), p. 174. Jeeves acts as a bookmaker's clerk in Ring for Jeeves, disguising himself for the role with a check suit and walrus moustache.

Capable of action when the situation calls for it, Jeeves uses a golf club to knock out Sippy Sipperley in "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy", and takes down a swan with a raincoat and boathook in "Jeeves and the Impending Doom". He finds it necessary to get Aunt Dahlia to knock out Bertie with a gong stick in "Jeeves Makes an Omelette", though he agrees with Bertie not to use this sort of tactic again.Wodehouse (1993) [1959], A Few Quick Ones, chapter 4, p. 89.Thompson (1992), p. 131.

Florence gets engaged often in the stories, being quick to leave a fiancé if he fails in an undertaking or does not obey her wishes.Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 68. At different times, she gets engaged to Bertie in "Jeeves Takes Charge", to Bertie and Stilton Cheesewright in Joy in the Morning, to Bertie, Stilton and the playwright Percy Gorringe in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, and to Bertie and Harold "Ginger" Winship in Much Obliged, Jeeves. It is also mentioned, in Joy in the Morning, that she was once engaged to Boko Fittleworth.

Thompson (1992), p. 298. After Right Ho, Jeeves, Bertie becomes more intelligent and more a partner to Jeeves, working more closely with him to solve problems. For example, in Joy in the Morning, Bertie objects to part of Jeeves's plan about the fancy dress ball, suggesting he and Boko should attend it; Jeeves expresses "cordial agreement" and changes his plan accordingly. Bertie also makes a shrewd move at the ball when he influences Worplesdon on Boko's behalf by reminding Worplesdon that Boko had once kicked the bothersome Edwin.

She is the author of works such as: All for Love; A Red, Red Summer Rose; Madcap Myrtle; Only a Factory Girl; The Courtship of Lord Strathmorlick; The Woman Who Braved All; Mervyn Keene, Clubman; 'Twas Once in May; By Honour Bound; and A Kiss at Twilight. She also wrote the Christmas story "Tiny Fingers". Jeeves says that one of his aunts owns a complete collection of her works. The books of Rosie M. Banks make "very light, attractive reading", according to Jeeves,Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 19.

At some point, he leaves the Black Shorts. Bertie says in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves that before Spode succeeded to his title, he had been "one of those Dictators who were fairly common at one time in the metropolis", but "he gave it up when he became Lord Sidcup".Wodehouse (2008) [1963], Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 18, pp. 152–153. Despite Spode becoming Lord Sidcup, Bertie usually thinks of him as Spode, at one point addressing him as "Lord Spodecup".Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 7, p. 73.

Cawthorne (2013), pp. 183-184. According to Bertie, her face takes on a purple tinge in moments of strong emotion.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 10, p. 108. She wears tortoiseshell-rimmed spectacles for reading,Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 9, p. 87. and appears to style her hair carefully, as her hair is variously described as her "carefully fixed coiffure",Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 17, p. 215. "her Marcel-wave",Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 1, p. 11.

Francis "Frank" Jeeves (15 February 1927 – 11 June 2010) was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Jeeves, who came from Wonthaggi originally, arrived at North Melbourne via the Fitzroy seconds. He played his best football in 1949, as a centre half-forward, polling eight Brownlow Medal votes to finish as North Melbourne's third best vote getter.AFL Tables: Frank Jeeves This was despite missing the last six rounds of the season due to an injury, which also kept him out of the finals series.

Jeeves advises that Bertie escape by climbing down a water pipe, but Bertie, inspired by Esmond's example, goes to face her.

Claude Cattermole "Catsmeat" Potter-Pirbright is a recurring fictional character in the Drones Club stories. He also appears in Jeeves stories.

Aunt Dahlia wants Bertie to steal and destroy the painting, leaving the window open so that thieves will be blamed. Bertie consults Jeeves, who advises using treacle and brown paper to silently break the window instead. At night, Jeeves breaks the window, and Bertie cuts out the painting with a knife. Bertie brings it to his room.

Following Jeeves's advice, Bertie starts cutting the large painting up and burning it piece by piece. Aunt Dahlia comes to help. All three cut up and burn the painting; Bertie using the knife, Aunt Dahlia scissors, and Jeeves garden shears. When they are nearly finished, Jeeves notices one of the pieces bears the signature "Everard Fothergill".

Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 98. He plays rugby football in the story. In Right Ho, Jeeves, Angela breaks the engagement because, when she told him that a shark had attacked her while she was aquaplaning in Cannes, Tuppy dismissed it as probably being only a flatfish that wanted to play.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 7, p. 71.

Two days later, Bertie learns that Bingo intends to go to the country for a while. Jeeves explains to Bertie that he informed Comrade Butt about Bingo being Lord Bittlesham's nephew. Pleased, Bertie tells Jeeves he may take the notes and coins on the dressing table, which amounts to fourteen pounds, one shilling, six pence, and a halfpenny.

"Wodehouse (2008) [1949], The Mating Season, chapter 25, p. 245. On one occasion, Bertie considers it probable that even the distinguished Sir Roderick Glossop has consulted Jeeves, and says, "Jeeves is like Sherlock Holmes. The highest in the land come to him with their problems. For all I know, they may give him jewelled snuff boxes.

Jeeves has knowledge in more dubious subjects as well. He is well-informed about how to steal paintings and kidnap dogs.Wodehouse (1993) [1959], A Few Quick Ones, chapter 4, p. 79. Jeeves tells Bertie how to steal a painting with treacle and brown paper, and says that this is "the recognized method in vogue in the burgling industry".

The novel opens with a brief flashforward of Bertie and Jeeves driving home, with Bertie remarking that there is an expression, something about Joy, that describes what he has just been through. Jeeves helpfully supplies the phrase, "Joy cometh in the morning".Wodehouse (2008) [1947], chapter 1, p. 9. Bertie proceeds to narrate the events that occurred.

Esmond and Corky become engaged. Dobbs claims he has become religious after being knocked out by a thunderbolt and reconciles with Queenie. Dobbs is also looking for "Bertie" for taking Sam Goldwyn, but Jeeves provides an alibi for Bertie. Dobbs then assumes it was Catsmeat who stole the dog; as Jeeves predicted, Gertrude rushes to defend Catsmeat.

Bertie nervously says that his speech went well, but now is the time to leave. Hearing voices approach, Bertie hides under a rug in the back of the car. Miss Tomlinson approaches the car, telling Jeeves that some girls were found smoking cigarettes given by Mr. Wooster. After she leaves, Bertie tells Jeeves to get a move on.

My Man Jeeves is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom in May 1919 by George Newnes.McIlvaine (1990), pp.33-34, A22a. Of the eight stories in the collection, half feature the popular characters Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, while the others concern Reggie Pepper, an early prototype for Bertie Wooster.

McIlvaine (1990), p. 106, A99. The British versions of "Disentangling Old Percy", "Concealed Art" and "The Test Case" were published in the second volume of Plum Stones in 1993 by Galahad Books, a specialist Wodehouse publisher. All the Reggie Pepper stories, along with some early Jeeves stories, were published in the collection Enter Jeeves by Dover Publications in 1997.

Unbearably curious about Spode's secret, Bertie agrees to go on the world cruise if Jeeves will tell him the truth about Eulalie. After hesitating, Jeeves reveals that Spode is a talented designer of ladies' underclothing, runs a shop called Eulalie Soeurs and fears that his authority with his followers would be jeopardized if this became known.

Leading Bertie safely away, Jeeves tells him that Sir Watkyn actually paid the full one thousand pounds for the statuette and had lied to spite Tom Travers. Jeeves returns the statuette to Totleigh Towers. Spode sees Gussie kissing Emerald, and threatens to harm him for betraying Madeline. When Stinker moves to protect Gussie, Spode hits Stinker.

Totleigh Towers is a fictional location in two Jeeves stories, being the setting of The Code of the Woosters and Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. The country house of Sir Watkyn Bassett, Totleigh Towers is located in Totleigh-in-the- Wold, Gloucestershire.Ring & Jaggard (1999), Wodehouse in Woostershire, p. 250. Sir Watkyn's daughter Madeline Bassett also resides there.

Bertie meets Jeeves for the first time in this story. Florence Craye, Bertie's fiancée, wants him to destroy his uncle's scandalous memoirs.

In 1996 Davis helped launch Ask Jeeves (now Ask.com), after venture capitalist Garrett Gruener introduced Davis to David Warthen, the founding CEO.

Bertie and Bingo place bets on the competitors, only to find that Steggles has rigged the events. Jeeves duly sorts things out.

Adapted from Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. The filming location for Totleigh Towers, where much of the episode takes place, was Highclere Castle.

In the films, Jeeves was a reformed burglar. Lawrence Grossmith portrayed Reggie Pepper and Charles Coleman portrayed Jeeves.Taves (2006), pp. 16 and 150.

The conflicts in Bertie's narrative are resolved and the story is concluded. Lastly, Bertie, Jeeves, and Seppings perform a comical Charleston dance routine.

Bertie returns to London from several weeks in Cannes spent in the company of his Aunt Dahlia Travers and her daughter Angela. In Bertie's absence, Jeeves has been advising Bertie's old school friend, Gussie Fink-Nottle, who is in love with a goofy, sentimental, whimsical, childish girl named Madeline Bassett. Gussie, a shy teetotaler with a passion for newts and a face like a fish, is too timid to speak to her. Bertie is annoyed that his friends consider Jeeves more intelligent than Bertie, and he takes Gussie's case in hand, ordering Jeeves not to offer any more advice.

1918 Saturday Evening Post illustration by Grant T. Reynard Though all short stories in The Inimitable Jeeves were published in the Strand, "Jeeves and the Chump Cyril" is the only short story in the collection that was first published in the U.S., and in the Saturday Evening Post. While it is the first story included in The Inimitable Jeeves by date of original publication, it is included as the ninth and tenth chapters of the collection.Cawthorne (2013), p. 51. The story was illustrated by Grant T. Reynard in the Saturday Evening Post, and by Alfred Leete in the Strand.

Jeeves has firm ideas about how an English gentleman should dress and behave, and sees it as his duty to ensure that his employer presents himself appropriately. When friction arises between Jeeves and Bertie, it is usually over some new item about which Bertie Wooster is enthusiastic that does not meet with Jeeves's approval, such as bright purple socks, a white mess jacket, or a garish vase. Bertie becomes attached to these less conservative pieces and views Jeeves's opposition to them as "hidebound and reactionary",Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 1, pp. 20–21.

Thompson (1992), pp. 305–306. Wodehouse frequently alludes to Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, with references to Holmes being present in Wodehouse's writing from 1902 up through Aunts Aren't Gentleman, his last completed novel. Jeeves is a close parallel to Holmes, since he is the problem solver, while Bertie resembles Watson, being the admiring onlooker who chronicles their adventures. However, instead of having them be two social equals sharing a flat, Wodehouse gains additional humour by making Bertie the master and Jeeves the servant—then making it clear that Jeeves is really the one in charge.

Bertie once won a prize at private school for the best collection of wildflowers made during the summer holidays.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 2, pp. 24–25. When Bertie was fourteen, he won the Choir Boys' Handicap bicycle race at a local school treat, having received half a lap start.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 22, p. 270.

The fourth and fifth volumes are not explicitly numbered, and have a red dust jacket and blue dust jacket respectively, though both are still stated to be part of the "Please, Jeeves Series". They were published in November 2013 and December 2014. In the manga, Jeeves is called a butler, because the Japanese are not familiar with the word valet.

He bets often on horse racing and is knowledgeable about novels based on the subject, including Pipped on the Post and Jenny, the Girl Jockey.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 14, pp. 169, 171. He plays tennis, and in one story plays doubles with Bertie in a local tennis tournament.Wodehouse (2008) [1930], Very Good, Jeeves, chapter 1, pp. 27–28.

The British comedy film Brother Alfred, based on the play, was released in 1932. Two silent short comedy films, "Making Good with Mother" and "Cutting Out Venus", released in the US in 1919, were inspired by the Reggie Pepper stories. The short films were directed by Lawrence C. Windom. Reggie Pepper was given a manservant named "Jeeves", inspired by the Wodehouse character Jeeves.

335 Medcalf provides an example from Right Ho, Jeeves in which the teetotal Gussie Fink-Nottle has surreptitiously been given whisky and gin in a punch prior to a prize-giving: > 'It seems to me, Jeeves, that the ceremony may be one fraught with > considerable interest.' 'Yes, sir.' 'What, in your opinion, will the harvest > be?' 'One finds it difficult to hazard a conjecture, sir.

Bertie participates in a number of physical activities. He likes swimming under ordinary circumstances; he is less fond of it when he falls into water unexpectedly while dressed in regular attire, which occurs multiple times in the stories. He plays tennis with Bingo Little in "Jeeves and the Impending Doom". Bertie also plays golf in the same story.Wodehouse (2008) [1930], Very Good, Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 22.

While Bertie Wooster is approximately 24 years old in "Jeeves Takes Charge" (1916), Jeeves's age is not stated in the stories, and has been interpreted differently by various illustrators and adaptations. However, there are a few hints in the books regarding Jeeves's age. Jeeves has a long employment history, and he is older than Bertie Wooster.Wodehouse (1968) [1966], Plum Pie, chapter 1, p. 46.

When he wishes to speak without having been spoken to or is about to discuss a delicate subject, he makes a low gentle cough "like a very old sheep clearing its throat on a misty mountain top".Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 11, p. 122. He may also cough to signify disapproval.Wodehouse (2008) [1963], Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 23, p. 191.

He just streams silently from spot A to spot B, like some gas".Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 6, p. 136. In addition to being a proficient valet, Jeeves can serve capably as a butler, and does so on a few occasions. As Bertie says in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, "If the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them.

Jeeves gives the suitcase to Gussie, who drives with it to London to escape the angered Sir Watkyn. Opening the other suitcase, Jeeves finds Oates's helmet, which Stiffy hid there. Bertie agrees to take the blame for stealing the helmet after Stiffy appeals to one of his personal rules, the Code of the Woosters, "Never let a pal down".Wodehouse (2008) [1938], chapter 13, p. 254.

Unable to prove that Bertie stole the cow-creamer, Sir Watkyn gleefully accuses him of stealing the helmet and vows to sentence him to a prison term. Jeeves blackmails Spode with the name Eulalie and forces Spode to announce that he stole the helmet. Jeeves then points out that Bertie can sue Sir Watkyn for wrongful arrest. Trapped, Sir Watkyn concedes approval for Madeline's and Stiffy's marriages.

Jeeves suggests that Bertie go to Totleigh Towers there to heal the rift between Gussie and Madeline, or else Madeline will decide to marry Bertie instead. Though Bertie does not want to marry Madeline, his personal code will not let him turn a girl down. Bertie reluctantly decides to go to Totleigh, saying, “Stiff upper lip, Jeeves, what?”.Wodehouse (2008) [1963], chapter 4, p. 36.

The scene in Right Ho, Jeeves in which Gussie, thoroughly inebriated due to Jeeves and later Bertie Wooster lacing his orange juice with gin, as well as his massive drink of whisky, gives a speech at the Market Snodsbury Grammar School is often cited as among the finest vignettes in English literature. Gussie goes to the boys' school to present prizes to the pupils (for spelling, drawing, etc.), with the boys' relatives and other members of the community in attendance. He is taking the place of Reverend William Plomer, who is out due to illness.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 17, p. 199.

"Jeeves Makes an Omelette" appeared with illustrations by James Simpkins in the Star Weekly. In February 1959, this story was published in the British magazine Lilliput, illustrated by John Cooper.McIlvaine (1990), p. 173, D102.3. In August 1959, the story was printed in the American magazine Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, under the title "Jeeves and the Stolen Venus".McIlvaine (1990), p. 190, D148.9. It was published in Argosy (UK) in July 1972.McIlvaine (1990), p. 165, D74.5. The Jeeves story was included in P. G.

At Skeldings Hall, Bertie encounters Lady Wickham, her daughter Bobbie Wickham, and Sir Roderick Glossop, who is surprisingly cordial to Bertie. Bertie sees that Jeeves is upset about missing Monte Carlo, and explains his three reasons for coming to Skeldings: first, there is more Yule-tide spirit in Skeldings; second, Bertie wants to get revenge on Tuppy Glossop, Sir Roderick's nephew, because Tuppy once tricked him into falling into the Drones Club swimming pool; third, Bertie is in love with Bobbie. Jeeves says that Bobbie, though a charming young lady, is too volatile and frivolous for Bertie. Jeeves also believes that Bobbie's vivid red hair is a dangerous sign.

This is a reference to a poem by Alexander Pope. At times when Bertie is separated from Jeeves, Bertie is miserable. When Bertie must stay by himself in a hotel in "The Aunt and the Sluggard", he struggles without having Jeeves there to press his clothes and bring him tea, saying "I don't know when I've felt so rotten. Somehow I found myself moving about the room softly, as if there had been a death in the family"; he later cheers himself up by going round the cabarets, though "the frightful loss of Jeeves made any thought of pleasure more or less a mockery".

In the years leading up to the creation of Please, Jeeves, butlers became a popular topic for mangas, with one example being the comic character Hayate the Combat Butler. Sometime in 2007, Maki Shiraoka, a senior editor of Hakusensha, conceived of the idea of a manga series featuring Jeeves and Bertie Wooster. She discussed this idea with another Hakusensha editor, Ayaka Tokushige, who found Tamaki Morimura's translation of The Inimitable Jeeves and believed it would be a good basis for a manga. They planned to serialize the stories in the bimonthly manga magazine Melody and then release the stories as one volume at the end of the year.

She becomes engaged to Bertie and Gussie in Right Ho, Jeeves and to Bertie and then back to Gussie in The Code of the Woosters. Her engagement to Gussie holds during The Mating Season, in which she visits an old friend of hers, Hilda Gudgeon, with whom she was educated at Roedean. Gussie later elopes with Emerald Stoker and Madeline becomes engaged variously to Bertie and Roderick Spode (Lord Sidcup) in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves and again to Bertie and then back to Spode in Much Obliged, Jeeves. Ultimately, she is engaged to Spode and appears to be on her way to becoming the next Countess of Sidcup.

Jeeves and Bertie mimic the language of Holmes and Watson multiple times (though occasionally Bertie presumes to compare himself to Holmes before his plan inevitably fails). The most extended Holmes-Watson style conversation between Bertie and Jeeves occurs in Aunts Aren't Gentleman, chapter 5, when Jeeves knows why Cook has accused Bertie of stealing his cat, even though he was not on the scene and has never met Cook: > "I think I can explain, sir." > It seemed incredible. I felt like Doctor Watson hearing Sherlock Holmes > talking about the one hundred and forty-seven varieties of tobacco ash and > the time it takes parsley to settle in the butter dish.

Jeeves of Belgravia, flagship store on Pont Street The company was founded in 1969 by Sydney Jacob and David Sandeluss. After being granted permission from P.G. Wodehouse to use the Jeeves name, the pair opened a shop at 8-10 Pont Street in Belgravia, London offering a specialist dry cleaning service for luxury garments. This shop in Pont Street is still the flagship shop today. Sandeluss later sold his shares in the business to Sydney Jacob, who brought his brother Ronald Jacob into the ownership of the company. In 1980, the Jacob brothers sold Jeeves UK for £695,000 to women's clothing group Tricoville Ltd, under chairman Anthony Jacobs (no relation).

93–94, A82. The book's title comes from the informal phrase "a quick one", which is British slang for an alcoholic drink consumed quickly. All the stories in the collection feature recurring Wodehouse characters and themes: four Drones Club members (two Freddie Widgeon and two Bingo Little), two golf stories (with the Oldest Member), two Mr Mulliner, one Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, and one Ukridge. "A Tithe for Charity" did not appear in the original US edition, which instead featured a 1958 "exclusive" pseudo-Drones story entitled "Unpleasantness at Kozy Kot" (actually a rewritten version of the 1928 Jeeves story "Fixing it for Freddie" collected in Carry On, Jeeves).

However, he feels much better after having one of Jeeves's special drinks, and purchases Milady's Boudoir. Grateful to Jeeves, Bertie agrees to shave off his moustache.

The film was re-edited for television in 1955, and broadcast in the series TV Hour of the Stars, under the title Thank You, Mr Jeeves.

It is a miscellaneous collection and includes several stories that are more serious than Wodehouse's more well-known comic fiction. Wodehouse biographer Richard Usborne stated that the collection was "mostly sentimental apprentice work", though one light-hearted story, "Extricating Young Gussie", is notable for the first appearance in print of two of Wodehouse's best-known characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although Bertie's surname is not given and Jeeves's role is very small), and Bertie's fearsome Aunt Agatha. In the US version of the book, "Wilton's Holiday", "Crowned Heads", and the two-part "The Mixer" were omitted, and replaced with three Reggie Pepper stories that had appeared in the UK collection My Man Jeeves (1919). These stories were "Absent Treatment", "Rallying Round Old George" (later rewritten as the Mulliner story "George and Alfred"), and "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good" (later rewritten as the Jeeves story "Jeeves Makes an Omelette").

The women he falls in love with form a diverse group, and include the waitress Mabel, who gives Bingo a crimson tie decorated with horseshoes ("Jeeves in the Springtime"); Honoria Glossop, the formidable daughter of Sir Roderick Glossop ("Scoring off Jeeves"); Daphne Braythwayt, a friend of Honoria ("Scoring off Jeeves"); Charlotte Corday Rowbotham, a revolutionary ("Comrade Bingo"); Lady Cynthia Wickhammersley, a family friend of Bertie's ("The Great Sermon Handicap"); and Mary Burgess, niece of the Rev. Francis Heppenstall ("The Metropolitan Touch"). Bingo is usually rejected within a short amount of time, and generally the girl gets engaged to someone else. In the last short story in The Inimitable Jeeves, "Bingo and the Little Woman", Bingo falls in love again when he sees Rosie M. Banks at the Senior Liberal Club, where Rosie is working as a waitress to gather material for her next book.

Tall and slim, Bertie is elegantly dressed, largely because of Jeeves.Cawthorne (2013), p. 159. He has blue eyes.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Thank You, Jeeves, chapter 21, p. 256.

Ditteredge Hall is the fictional residence of the family of Sir Roderick Glossop in Hampshire in "Scoring off Jeeves".Ring & Jaggard (1999), Wodehouse in Woostershire, p. 74.

Each local parson's Sunday sermon will be timed, and the parson who preaches the longest wins. Steggles made the list of parsons, their handicaps, and their current odds being taken for bets. One parson, Heppenstall, gives long sermons, but has a moderate handicap since Steggles underestimated him; Bertie funds bets on Heppenstall for a syndicate made of himself, Bingo, Claude, and Eustace. Eustace invites Jeeves to join them but Jeeves declines.

This Jeeves story is a rewritten version of the Reggie Pepper story, "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good". The Reggie Pepper version was published in the UK in The Strand Magazine in May 1913, and in the US in Pictorial Review in April 1914 under the title "Rallying Round Clarence". In the story "Jeeves Makes an Omelette", Bertie is tasked by his Aunt Dahlia with stealing and destroying a painting.

Jeeves goes to Twing for the night. He reports that Steggles, the bookmaker behind the Sermon Handicap and the betting at the school treat, is taking wagers against Bingo ending up with Mary. Steggles induced Bingo into betting that Wilfred would win an eating contest, and Wilfred became ill, causing Bingo to lose favor with Mary. Jeeves advised Bingo to do good deeds around the village to win back Mary.

"Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom in December 1927, and in Liberty in the United States that same month. The story was also included as the third story in the 1930 collection Very Good, Jeeves.Cawthorne (2013), p. 74.

Bertie is instantly moved, and feels he has wronged Jeeves. Jeeves adds that a second incident occurred during the night: while in Bertie's bed, Sir Roderick's hot water bottle was pierced by Tuppy, who thought Bertie was in the bed. As a joke, Bobbie had suggested this idea to Tuppy, after she had suggested the idea to Bertie. Bertie is stunned by Bobbie's betrayal, and does not love her anymore.

"Comrade Bingo" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in May 1922, and in Cosmopolitan in New York that same month. The story was also included in the 1923 collection The Inimitable Jeeves as two separate chapters, "Comrade Bingo" and "Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood".Cawthorne (2013), p. 59.

The two exceptions are the short story "Bertie Changes His Mind" (1922), which is narrated by Jeeves, and the novel Ring for Jeeves (1953), a third-person narration in which Bertie is mentioned but does not appear. First appearing in "Extricating Young Gussie" in 1915, Bertie is the narrator of ten novels and over 30 short stories, the last being the novel Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, published in 1974.

This occurs when Jeeves quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson to Bertie: > "Emerson," I reminded him, "says a friend may well be reckoned the > masterpiece of Nature, sir." > "Well, you can tell Emerson from me the next time you see him that he's an > ass."Thompson (1992) pp. 285–286. In "Bertie Changes His Mind", Jeeves does not reveal to Bertie how he has manipulated events by the end of the story.

The Inimitable Jeeves is a semi-novel collecting Jeeves stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom by Herbert Jenkins, London, on 17 May 1923 and in the United States by George H. Doran, New York, on 28 September 1923, under the title Jeeves.McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist. New York: James H. Heineman, pp. 41-42.

Author P. G. Wodehouse set his comedic Jeeves series, about English gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves, when they were written, though the characters aged little or not at all. This allowed for humorous references to contemporary popular culture in the stories, which were published between 1915 and 1974, while the characters remained the same, though some elements of early twentieth-century England remained present throughout the series.

Solare manages to kill both Allysyn and Lane, once more with the aid of Jeeves. Solare takes leave to continue his quest well Jeeves once more returns to the service of Miss Erzebet. After Solare has left, Erzebet uses a dark and hidden power of hers, reviving Allysyn and Lane as some form of undead servants. In Groznyj's dungeon we find the king talking with his imprisoned nephew, Mikal.

"Pearls Mean Tears" aired as the first episode of the fourth series instead.

Jeeves radio adaptation of Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, the telephone number for Bertie's flat is Mayfair 2631 (as spoken to a telephone operator), though no telephone number is given for the flat in the original stories. In A Pelican at Blandings, Galahad Threepwood lives in Berkeley Mansions, on the fourth floor.A Pelican at Blandings (1969), chapter 2. Galahad had previously lived in a flat in Duke Street, St James's.

Steeple Bumpleigh is a fictional location, being a small village in rural Hampshire and the location of Bumpleigh Hall.Ring & Jaggard (1999), Wodehouse in Woostershire, p. 240. It is near the market town of East Wibley, where a fancy dress dance is held in Joy in the Morning. In Much Obliged, Jeeves, Bertie states that Steeple Bumpleigh is in Essex instead,Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 3, p.

In the story, Bertie's Aunt Agatha wants him to marry the formidable Honoria Glossop, who intimidates Bertie. Bertie tries to thwart his aunt's plan without help from Jeeves.

His obstacle is his allowance from his Uncle Mortimer, who may not approve the match. Jeeves recommends his uncle be regularly read romance novels to soften him up.

Although the book is filled with anecdotes about the ghostwriting profession the Daily Telegraph noted that "when it comes to famous clients, he is as silent as Jeeves".

Chuffy references Bertie's "big blue eyes". Normally clean-shaven, he grows a moustache in two different stories, and ultimately loses the moustache, as Jeeves does not think a moustache suits Bertie. It seems that he has an innocent-looking appearance; when Bertie wants to wear an alpine hat in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, he states, "I was prepared to concede that it would have been more suitable for rural wear, but against this had to be set the fact that it unquestionably lent a diablerie to my appearance, and mine is an appearance that needs all the diablerie it can get."Wodehouse (2008) [1963], Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 15.

The second chapter of his only cricket book, Cricket Calling, a collection of essays published a few months before he died, is titled "The Essence of Cricket", and opens with this sentence: "Cricket is not so much a game as an extension of being English: a gallimaufry of paradoxes, contradictions, frightening logic and sheer impossibilities, of gentle courtesy and rough violence."Rowland Ryder, Cricket Calling, Faber & Faber, 1995, p. 19. In another chapter, "The Unplayable Jeeves", Ryder recounts his correspondence with P. G. Wodehouse which established that Wodehouse had named his famous character Jeeves after the Warwickshire bowler Percy Jeeves, whom Wodehouse had seen playing in a county match at Cheltenham in 1913.Ryder, pp. 93–98.

His other TV roles include Mr Shepherd, Aunt Sally's owner, in Worzel Gummidge, Phunkey in The Pickwick Papers (1985) and the Drones Porter in Jeeves and Wooster (1990–91).

"Bingo and the Little Woman" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in November 1922, and then in Cosmopolitan in New York in December 1922. The story was also included in the collection The Inimitable Jeeves as two separate stories, "Bingo and the Little Woman" and "All's Well".Cawthorne (2013), p. 57.

On Broadway, Stephenson originated the roles of Charles Clarke in Titanic (1997), Mr. Peavy in Parade (1998), Bingo Little in By Jeeves (2001)Isherwod, Charles. "Review: ‘By Jeeves’" Variety, October 28, 2001 and Renfield in Dracula (2004)."A bloodless 'Dracula' drains life out of the old vampire" chronicle.augusta.com (Associated Press), August 20, 2004 He also starred as Leo Bloom in the Broadway production and first national tour of The Producers in 2003.

One morning in New York, Jeeves tells Bertie a Cyril Bassington-Bassington visited earlier, with a letter of introduction from Bertie's Aunt Agatha, and will return later. Hoping to return to England in time for Goodwood, Bertie decides to appease his menacing Aunt Agatha by treating Cyril kindly. Bertie wears purple socks, though Jeeves disapproves. Cyril does not appear, so Bertie goes out to a club with a new pal, the playwright George Caffyn.

Bertie refers to his father as his "guv'nor".Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimtiable Jeeves, chapter 13, p. 139. When he was around seven years of age, Bertie was sometimes compelled to recite "The Charge of the Light Brigade" for guests by his mother; she proclaimed that he recited nicely, but Bertie disagrees, and says that he and others found the experience unpleasant.Wodehouse (2008) [1954], Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, chapter 13, p. 123.

Capable of reading sheet music, Bertie has a light baritone voice and sings often, most prominently in "Jeeves and the Song of Songs".Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 287. He keeps a piano in his flat,Wodehouse (1968) [1966], Plum Pie, "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", p. 42. and once played "Happy Days Are Here Again" with one finger on the piano at Totleigh Towers when there was no other method of self-expression available.

Bertie lost the brooch, so he sends Jeeves to London to obtain a replacement. After welcoming Bertie to his cottage, Boko tells Bertie his plan to win Worplesdon's approval: he will pretend to stop a burglar at the Hall, with Bertie playing the role of burglar. Before he can break in, Bertie is interrupted by Edwin. He then runs into Jeeves, who says that Worplesdon and Clam plan to meet in the potting shed.

Though Ukridge never achieved the gigantic popularity of the same author's Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse retained a certain fondness for him, his last appearance in a Wodehouse story being as late as 1966. With completed new stories appearing over a span of 60 years, he is in fact the longest-running of Wodehouse's characters, topping Jeeves and Wooster (1915–1974, or 59 years) and the denizens of Blandings Castle (1915–1969, or 54 years).

While they smoke, Jeeves tells Bertie that in his youth, he was a page-boy in a school for young ladies, and that the girls often stared and giggled at guests to make them uncomfortable. This makes Bertie nervous. Later, Peggy returns Bertie's cigarette case to Jeeves, claiming that Bertie must have dropped it. She is excited to hear Bertie speak because the girls like to sit and stare at guest speakers.

Jeeves (Italian: Lusky) is John D. Rockerduck's secretary. The character was created in Italy in the 1970s. Rockerduck depends greatly on him, much in the same way as Scrooge McDuck depends on his butler Albert Quackmore. Unlike Scrooge, Rockerduck has rarely been shown to have any family, so when Rockerduck goes on an adventure, Jeeves fills the role of a supporting adventurer, which would be served by Donald Duck in Scrooge's case.

Richard P. Little, known as Bingo, is a member of the Drones Club and a recurring fictional character in the Drones Club stories. Bingo also appears in many Jeeves stories.

Credits taken from Tidal. All songs written by Carl Seanté McGrier, Jean Yves "Jeeves" Ducornet, Kofi Owusu-Ofori, and Todrick Dramaul Hall and produced by Jeeve, Todrick Hall, and Wiidope.

Paine later described the temple as "my greenhouse at Weston". Weston Hall suggests that hall and gardens were the inspiration for Blandings Castle in the Jeeves stories by P.G. Wodehouse.

Added to this is a number of tough young ladies, a local play and a dog that gets arrested, all of which means a lively time for Bertie and Jeeves.

Rowbotham advises Bertie to join their group. He disapproves of Jeeves being a servant. Bingo and Charlotte flirt, and Comrade Butt, a rival for Charlotte's affections, is jealous. Bertie dislikes Charlotte.

Rosie M. Banks is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves and Drones Club stories of British author P. G. Wodehouse, being a romance novelist and the wife of Bingo Little.

Wodehouse (2008) [1971], chapter 1, p. 14. This novel is significant as it is the first time in the Wooster canon that Jeeves' first name (Reginald) is revealed.Hall (1974), p. 51.

Notably in "Ask Jeeves" in season 10, they use their real names and even though a detective is investigating a murder, he does not recognize them from "their" previous crime sprees.

As a Liverpool City Council ward, it is represented by three Labour Party councillors - Roz Gladden, Tim Jeeves and Sarah Morton. The local Member of Parliament is Labour MP Dan Carden.

In all of the Jeeves novels, one of Bertie's primary goals is to avoid marriage, making Bertie an inversion on the typical hero of romantic comedies whose ultimate goal is to become engaged or married. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia concisely summarizes the recurring threat of marriage that Bertie is repeatedly faced with in the penultimate chapter of Much Obliged, Jeeves, when she has heard the news about Spode changing his mind after being hit by a potato.Hall (1974), p. 27. Furthermore, the same passage places undue emphasis on how neatly things have worked out and mentions a "guardian angel", hinting that Jeeves may have thrown the potato or arranged for someone to throw the potato at Spode: > A look almost of awe came into the ancestor's face.

The song has also been recorded by The Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra with vocalist Ruth Brown, Ruth Etting, The Andrews Sisters, Petula Clark, Mandy Patinkin, John McCormack, Richard Tauber, Franz Völker and Rudolf Schock. Pesach Burstein recorded a Yiddish version (translation by L. Wolfe Gilbert). The song is used as a major plot point in the short story Jeeves and the Song of Songs by P. G. Wodehouse (originally published 1929), included in the collection Very Good, Jeeves (1930). The story was dramatised as the second episode of season 1 of the British TV series Jeeves and Wooster, "Tuppy and the Terrier", where is it performed by Hugh Laurie as the character Bertie Wooster and then by Constance Novis as the character Cora Bellinger.

24-year-old Bertie Wooster returns to London from Easeby, his Uncle Willoughby's home, after firing his valet for stealing. An agency sends him Jeeves, who prepares a drink that cures both Bertie's hangover and his fatigue after trying to read a difficult book titled "Types of Ethical Theory", which his fiancée, Lady Florence Craye, expects him to read. Impressed, Bertie hires Jeeves. Bertie receives a telegram from Florence, who is at Easeby, telling him to return at once.

Lady Wickham has invited Bertie to her home, Skeldings Hall, for Christmas. Bertie and Jeeves had originally planned to go to Monte Carlo, but Bertie takes up Lady Wickham's invitation, which disappoints Jeeves.

Rice suggested the idea of a musical based on the subject to Lloyd Webber, but although the idea of writing a score including tangos, paso dobles, and similar Latin flavours intrigued him, Lloyd Webber ultimately rejected the idea. He decided instead to collaborate with Alan Ayckbourn on Jeeves, a traditional Rodgers and Hart-style musical based on the P. G. Wodehouse character, which proved to be a critical and commercial failure.Citron, pp.191–97 After Jeeves, Lloyd Webber returned to Rice, and they began developing Rice's proposed musical.

He wrote, "there was scarcely a mistake that was not made in its 56 minutes", adding the humor was forced, and the direction lackluster and unimaginative. Taves claimed the film "so utterly fails in its essential purpose that it is easy to watch the whole picture without so much as cracking a smile.

A sequel, Step Lively, Jeeves!, was released by 20th Century Fox in 1937 with Treacher reprising his role of Jeeves, but without the character of Bertie Wooster. This was because Niven was at the time under contract to Samuel Goldwyn, who typically loaned him out only for a single picture, hence it would have been expensive and difficult to hire him for the sequel. Niven would not appear in another Wodehouse adaptation until he played the titular character in Uncle Fred Flits By, an episode of Four Star Playhouse in 1955.

References to international conflicts are rare in Wodehouse's stories, though a subtle reference appears in this story; Bertie asks Jeeves if there is any news in the papers, to which Jeeves replies, "Some slight friction threatening in the Balkans, sir. Otherwise, nothing." This references the First World War and acknowledges the nonchalance generally exhibited by Edwardian England towards the gathering European crisis before the war broke out. Wodehouse was similarly disengaged in the face of war; according to Wodehouse scholar Robert McCrum, Wodehouse "carried on writing about an imaginary world that seemed far more vivid to him than the reality of his own times".

He lacks an income to support her until, in "Company for Gertrude", posing as a Mr "Popjoy" at Blandings and trying to ingratiate himself with Lord Emsworth wins him the living at Much Matchingham. The family, at first against the match, change their minds and become strongly in favour, on learning that Bingham is nephew and heir to a wealthy shipping magnate. Not normally a quick thinker, he knows how to stop a dog fight, a talent which comes in especially handy in "The Go-getter". He is a friend of Bertie Wooster and appears in a Jeeves short story, "Jeeves and the Song of Songs".

Due to the volume of stories and time span over which Wodehouse wrote them, there are a number of inconsistencies and contradictions in the information given about his relatives. Bertie and several of his relations appear in the early semi-canonical short story "Extricating Young Gussie". In that story the family name is Mannering-Phipps, not Wooster, and the story has been excluded from most collections of Jeeves and Wooster material, even though the incidents in that story are referenced in later stories. The family members who make an appearance in the most Jeeves stories are Bertie's Aunt Dahlia (7 short stories, 7 novels) and Aunt Agatha (8 short stories).

Anatole was the supremely skilled French chef of Aunt Dahlia at her country house Brinkley Court. He gave notice when Bertie recommended that they make a hunger strike in order to provoke feelings of guilt in others and to go without dinner made by the chef. Jeeves returns to London to persuade Anatole to return to Brinkley Court, whereto Bertie subsequently goes to reconcile Angela Travers with Tuppy Glossop, who is growing increasingly suspicious and jealous of his relationship with her. In order to bolster Gussie Fink-Nottle's courage to deliver the prizes and propose to Madeline Bassett, both Bertie and Jeeves spike his orange juice.

The ruse is discovered, however, and the Duke tells Bicky he must come back to England with him, when Jeeves suggests that the story about the deceived Duke could be sold to the newspapers.

It appears that members are not required to resign after relinquishing their positions in service, since one valet, Bingley, retains his membership after retiring. According to Wodehouse scholar Norman Murphy, the club was inspired by a pub that was frequented by butlers, valets, and other servants in Mayfair in the 1920s, located in Charles Street (not far from the eastern end of Curzon Street).

Set in the United Kingdom and the United States in an unspecified period between the late 1920s and the 1930s, the series starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, an affable young gentleman and member of the idle rich, and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, his highly intelligent and competent valet. Bertie and his friends, who are mainly members of the Drones Club, are extricated from all manner of societal misadventures by the indispensable Jeeves. When Fry and Laurie began the series, they were already a popular double act due to regular appearances on Channel 4's Saturday Live and their own show A Bit of Fry & Laurie (BBC, 1987–95). In the television documentary Fry and Laurie Reunited (2010), the actors, reminiscing about their involvement in the series, revealed that they were initially reluctant to play the parts of Jeeves and Wooster, but eventually decided to do so because the series was going to be made with or without them and they felt no one else would do the parts justice.

"Jeeves, you see, is always getting me out of entanglements with the opposite sex, and he knows all about the various females who from time to time have come within an ace of hauling me to the altar rails, but of course we don't discuss them. To do so, we feel, would come under the head of bandying a woman's name, and the Woosters do not bandy women's names. Nor do the Jeeveses." Of the women Bertie Wooster becomes engaged to, those who appear in the most Jeeves stories are Madeline Bassett (5 novels), Lady Florence Craye (1 short story, 3 novels), Bobbie Wickham (3 short stories, 1 novel), and Honoria Glossop (4 short stories).

The short stories are set primarily in London, where Bertie Wooster has a flat and is a member of the raucous Drones Club, or in New York City, though some short stories are set around various stately homes in the English countryside. The novels all take place at or near an English country house, most commonly Brinkley Court (in four novels) and Totleigh Towers (in two novels).

Because of the club's strict rules, Jeeves cannot reveal anything more to Bertie than one name, "Eulalie".

Both of these changes make Jeeves's language more elaborate. There is also an example of a change made to Bertie's speech: "'Heaven help the tarpon that tries to pits its feeble cunning against you, Jeeves.' I said. 'It will be a one-sided contest'" (becomes "Its efforts will be bootless").

In the story, Bertie has fallen in love with the mischievous Roberta "Bobbie" Wickham, though Jeeves has misgivings about her. Bertie wants to get revenge on "Tuppy" Glossop for playing a trick on him, and Bobbie suggests a scheme involving a long stick, a darning needle, and a hot water bottle.

With two exceptions, the stories are told in the first person by Bertie Wooster. Although Jeeves occasionally describes Bertie as "mentally negligible", Bertie's narrative style reflects notable facility with the English language. He displays what would be considered by today's standards a broad, if not very deep, knowledge of English literature, making allusions from sources including the Bible, Shakespeare, and romantic literature of the 19th century (all of these references typical of the schooling he and his 20th-century audience received), even if he relies on Jeeves to complete quotations for him. Bertie frequently applies these serious references in an over-simplified, farcical manner to the situation he is in, or uses the reference in a way totally contrary to its original context and meaning.

Bertie finds Major Plank (who was told that Bertie is a thief called Alpine Joe in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves) in the doctor's waiting room, though Plank does not recognize Bertie.

Bertie recommends that they make a hunger strike in order to provoke feelings of guilt in others and to go without dinner, but this backfires when the others remain completely oblivious and an offended Anatole gives notice. Newt-fancier Gussie Fink-Nottle comes to Jeeves for advice about Madeline Bassett, with whom he is enamoured.

Then who? For a long time I was baffled, > and then I suddenly thought ‘Why not make Jeeves a man of brains and > ingenuity and have him do it?’ After that, of course, it was all simple and > the stories just rolled out one after the other. (In the letter, written > more than thirty years after this short story, Wodehouse apparently confuses > this story with the Reggie Pepper story "Disentangling Old Duggie", and Aunt > Agatha with Bertie's other aunt, Dahlia Travers.) Another difference between "Extricating Young Gussie" and later Jeeves stories is that Bertie is not musically-inclined in this story, as he seems unfamiliar with Gussie's songs and states that he does not have an ear for music,Wodehouse (1997), chapter 1, p. 10.

In his later years, the main troubles of his life stem from his many sisters, particularly the formidable Connie, who despair at his eccentric appearance and distracted ways, and his younger son Freddie, whom he longs to see safely married off and out of trouble; his joy at seeing him finally paired off with Aggie Donaldson knows no bounds. The frequent visits (in later works) of his disreputable brother Gally add further to life's complications and his sister Connie's frustrations. In "Jeeves Takes Charge", a short story in Wodehouse's Jeeves series, it's revealed that Lord Emsworth in his youth went about with young men who behaved "in a manner that would not have been tolerated in the fo’castle of a whaler" according to Lady Florence Craye.

According to his notes, Wodehouse considered having "someone landing B with the racetrack cat" in Jeeves in the Offing (1960). Ultimately, the idea was not included in that novel, but became a major part of the plot of Aunts Aren't Gentlemen.Thompson (1992), p. 70. Wodehouse's notes suggest that he initially wrote the novel's basic action and dialogue, then added humorous lines and quotations later.

In a career that lasted more than 40 years, he also appeared in 36 episodes of Knight Errant Limited as Adam Knight (1959–1960), as well as in episodes of Z-Cars (1967), The Saint (1968), The Champions (1968), Fall of Eagles (1974), the TV mini series Lorna Doone (1976), Heartbeat (1992), The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (1999) and The Bill (2000).

The fictional Hockley-cum- Meston rugby team, the rugby team managed by Plank in the novel, appeared in the earlier Jeeves story "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy", published in 1930. Wodehouse had determined much of the novel's plot by the end of September 1961, as shown by a letter he wrote to his step-grandson, a lawyer, on 29 September 1961 for advice concerning Bertie's arrest in the novel. In the letter, Wodehouse explains that Sir Watkyn Bassett, as a Justice of the Peace, has Bertie arrested for stealing something valuable of his and intends to give Bertie a sentence, but agrees not to press charges if Jeeves leaves Bertie's employ and comes to work for him. Wodehouse asked if a Justice of the Peace can try a man for stealing something from him, and whether or not a criminal is released if a complainant withdraws a charge after an arrest has been made.

Photograph of original artwork by Arthur Wallis Mills for The Black and White Illustrated Budget, 1903 Arthur Wallis Mills (often abbreviated A. Wallis Mills, as well as A. W. Mills) (1878–1940) was a British artist. As well as traditional art forms, Mills also produced artwork and occasional cartoons for Punch Magazine, The Strand Magazine, The Humourist, The Black and White Illustrated Budget and The Royal Magazine in the United Kingdom as well as The Wanganui Chronicle in New Zealand. He also illustrated A Cabinet Secret (Guy Boothby, 1901), the 1908 edition of The Novels of Jane Austen in Ten Volumes, The Zincali - An account of the gypsies of Spain (George Borrow, 1841) and The Red Book of Heroes (Andrew Lang, 1909). Mills illustrated many of P. G. Wodehouse's stories in magazines, including Indiscretions of Archie (1920–1921), Leave It to Psmith (1923), and 15 of P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves short stories in The Strand Magazine, the first being "Jeeves in the Springtime" (1921).

A small and shrimp-like young man, Gussie Fink-Nottle (called "Spink-Bottle" by Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia)Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 19, p. 231. is one of Bertie's friends. He is described as fish-faced (which jokingly means that he has a small chin). Usually described as wearing horn- rimmed spectacles, he also wears tortoiseshell-rimmed spectacles.Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 6, p. 131.

Bertie thinks the signature says "Edward" but Aunt Dahlia agrees it is "Everard". Bertie goes to check if he got the wrong painting, and bumps into Edward, who regrets giving Everard his painting and is stealing it back. Now Edward's painting is gone, but they have destroyed Everard's painting, which will upset Cornelia. Jeeves suggests that Bertie should be found lying stunned, so that it appears he tried to fend off thieves.

Alternative titles for the film were "The Bank Detective" and "The Great Man". With the success of his two previous films, You Can't Cheat an Honest Man and My Little Chickadee, Fields was able to get complete creative control for this project.Mankiewicz, Ben (January 2, 2018) Intro to Turner Classic Movies' presentation of The Bank Dick He wrote the script under the pseudonym "Mahatma Kane Jeeves". Principal photography began in early September 1940.

She has also appeared as Clare Shearer in Peak Practice, as Philippa Kinross in Casualty and The Jury. She played Lady Florence Craye in the third series of Jeeves and Wooster. She has had many guest roles, including appearances in Powers, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Holby City, PhoneShop, Waking the Dead and Coronation Street. She has also performed for the RSC in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Beaux Strategem, The Comedy of Errors and Hamlet.

Hall (1974), p. 86. He also favours the mixed metaphor, an absurd combination of two incompatible metaphors. For example, after one of Bertie's plans goes awry, he decides not to dwell on his mistake, saying "spilt milk blows nobody any good"; this combines the proverbs "It's no use crying over spilt milk" and "It's an ill wind that blows no good".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 11, pp. 130–131.

In 1995, Gruener alongside David Warthen, a consulting engineer, created a company called Ask Jeeves. After both investing over $250,000 they set up their office in Berkeley, California. Named after the butler in the stories by P.G. Wodehouse "who had an answer to every problem", the firm provides software that operates in a "question-and-answer" format. In 1997, they made their product available for free on the Internet under the name Ask.com.

Their rivalry is further contrasted by the fact that Rockerduck was born into luxury, rather than earning his fortune by his own hard work, which is another reason for Scrooge's, and sometimes even Glomgold's disrespect toward him. Rockerduck has a taste for luxury, and likes to show off his wealth. Besides his secretary, advisor, and right-hand man Jeeves, he doesn't seem to have any close confidants. Like Scrooge and Flintheart, Rockerduck is extremely competitive.

One of Julia Ukridge's many butlers, Oakshott is, despite his dignified and impressive appearance and manner, a rather unprincipled man, fond of gambling. In "The Come-back of Battling Billson", he attempts to ensure the failure of "Battling" Billson by feeding him too much port; in "Success Story", he is involved in turning his mistress's house into a gambling den. A butler named Oakshott also appears briefly in "Jeeves Takes Charge".Garrison (1989), p. 133.

David Warthen (born December 10, 1957) was one of the founders of Ask Jeeves, now called Ask.com, an internet search engine. Warthen has served as Chief Technology Officer or Vice President of Engineering for a variety of companies, many of them start-ups, over his career. David Warthen obtained B.A (Computer Science) from University of California, San Diego, and attended PhD program at University of California, Berkeley (2002 - 2004) but did not obtain a degree.

Bertie has grown a moustache, which Jeeves disapproves of. G. D'Arcy "Stilton" Cheesewright, a fellow member at the Drones Club who has drawn Bertie's name in the annual club darts sweep, becomes jealous when Cheesewright’s fiancée Florence Craye says she loves Bertie's moustache. Florence and Bertie were engaged in the past, and Stilton mistakenly believes Bertie still loves her. Stilton is also jealous of Percy Gorringe, a playwright dramatizing Florence's novel Spindrift.

Wodehouse often uses comical names in his stories. Examples of this in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit include the names of Lemuel Gengulphus Trotter (who is against being knighted due to the fact that he would be called Sir Lemuel) and the night-club Bertie and Florence go to, The Mottled Oyster, as well as the other night-clubs Bertie mentions, such as The Feverish Cheese and the Startled Shrimp.Hall (1974), pp. 100 and 103.

Generally formidable in appearance, Aunt Agatha is five-foot-nine, with a beaky nose, an eagle eye, and a lot of grey hair.Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 3, p. 33. Agatha had at first been affianced to Percy Craye, though upon reading in the papers of his behaviour at a Covent Garden ball, she had ended the engagement. She then married Spenser Gregson, though he dies before The Code of the Woosters.

J. H. C. Morris suggested that the Jeeves canon spanned approximately five years, stating that four Christmases are accounted for, and another must have passed during Bertie's time in America in the early stories, making five in all.Morris (1981), p. 4. Kristin Thompson also suggested that approximately five years passed during the stories, though Thompson instead relied on explicit references to time passed between events in the series.Thompson (1992), pp. 340–341.

The border was guarded by Bulgarian sentries, one of whom shot the Greek soldier. In the second version, the incident was caused on October 18 by Bulgarian soldiers, who crossed the Greek border, attacked a Greek outpost at Belasitsa and killed a Greek captain and a sentry.

Anything for you, Ma'am shot to national fame after its review in The Hindu headlined Outsourcing Wodehouse. The Times of India compared the plot to a classic Jeeves Wooster saga. The main protagonist Tejas has a propensity to land himself into comical troubles like Wooster and has an array of Jeeveses around him in the form of his friends and family. The book was especially praised for 'cleverly localising the Wooster persona.

While drunk, Catsmeat makes Gussie wade through the Trafalgar Square fountain, and Gussie is sentenced to fourteen days in jail. To keep Madeline from learning about this, Jeeves suggests Bertie stay at Deverill Hall pretending to be Gussie. Bertie does so, taking Corky's dog Sam Goldwyn (a reference to film producer Samuel Goldwyn) with him at Corky's request. At Deverill Hall, Bertie ("Gussie") learns that Esmond is in love with Corky and not Gertrude.

In Much Obliged, Jeeves, which takes place at Brinkley Court, Spode has been invited by Bertie's Aunt Dahlia to Brinkley for his skills as an orator. He gives speeches in support of the Conservative candidate for Market Snodsbury, Harold "Ginger" Winship. As Spode's fiancée, Madeline goes with him. After the success of his speeches, Spode considers standing for election himself for the House of Commons, which would require him to relinquish his title.

Bertie compares him with Reginald "Kipper" Herring in Jeeves in the Offing; "Kipper" (with his cauliflower ear) would have been an unsafe entrant to have backed in a beauty contest, even if the only other competitors had been Boris Karloff, King Kong and Oofy Prosser .... However, Oofy can be a big spender (serving strawberries in winter, at a cost of around a pound sterling each), or a fierce gambler (in a casino, or on bets).

Jeeves informs Bertie that Cook's horse Potato Chip and Briscoe's horse Simla will soon compete in a race at Bridmouth-on-Sea, and to perform well, Potato Chip must be near this stray cat that it recently befriended. Vanessa urges Orlo to demand his inheritance from Cook. When Orlo refuses, she ends the engagement and decides she will marry Bertie. Bertie doesn't want to marry her, but is too polite to turn her down.

In a letter, Aunt Dahlia's husband Tom Travers writes that the race was awarded to Briscoe's Simla after Cook's cat ran across the racecourse and startled Simla. Bertie is pleased for his aunt. However, he attributes the tranquility of his and Jeeves's stay in New York to their distance from aunts, particularly Aunt Dahlia, who, though genial, has a lax moral code. The trouble with aunts, Bertie tells Jeeves, is that they are not gentlemen.

12 Other collaborations between the two writers were not acknowledged on title pages or in programmes, but were plays by one turned into novels by the other, or vice versa. Bolton's play, Come On, Jeeves centred on one of Wodehouse's best-known characters; Wodehouse later adapted the play as the novel Ring for Jeeves.Usborne, pp. 155–56. Wodehouse's novels French Leave, The Small Bachelor and others were adapted from plots by Bolton.

Aunt Dahlia sends Bertie to "sneer" at an antique, silver cow creamer, in order to keep its price down. He accidentally brings the antique to the attention of rival collector Sir Watkyn Bassett, who buys it. Dahlia sends Bertie to get the creamer back at all costs. Jeeves steals the unique silver cow creamer, using it as the car/motor mascot and hiding it as a hood/bonnet ornament and radiator cap on Wooster's car.

This minor planet was named after English writer and humorists P. G. Wodehouse (Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse; 1881–1975). He created several fictional characters, who became familiar to the public over the years, and include the jolly gentleman of leisure Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves. The body's name was suggested by Belgian astronomer Jean Meeus. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 13 April 2006 ().

As roads got better and clearer the demand for their services fell away and many were re-employed as household servants. One footman instead bought the tavern, then called the Running Horse, and renamed it after himself. The establishment was first built in 1749 and rebuilt in the 1930s. The pub is believed to have been the inspiration for the Junior Ganymede Club, a fictional club in P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories.

Campbell Morrison (born William Morrison in 1952, Glasgow, Scotland; died January 2008) was a Scottish actor.

According to David A. Jasen's biography of P. G. Wodehouse, Jevons was a predecessor to Wodehouse's well- known character Jeeves, who is also a very competent valet. "The Crime Wave at Blandings" was rewritten from "Creatures of Impulse" and was published more than twenty years after the original story. "The Crime Wave at Blandings" was published in October 1936 in two parts in the Saturday Evening Post, with illustrations by Charles LaSalle.McIlvaine (1990), p.

Penguin Books, which had previously published Jeeves books with covers featuring full-colour promotional images from The World of Wooster, published tie-in Blandings books with covers featuring promotional images from The World of Wodehouse in December 1966.Taves (2006), pp. 115–116. Anton Rodgers, who portrayed Stanley Ukridge in the Ukridge series, had previously portrayed Rupert Baxter in the third Blandings Castle episode, "Lord Emsworth and the Crime Wave at Blandings".

Clover attacks Pam, but she uses her speed to beat Clover up. At the very end, Maurice and Clover round up some kings of other kingdoms, and Clover screams out some of Pam's nicknames like Stephanie Jeeves or Lilly Teeterwagon. The crocodile ambassador complains to Pam, to which she states that he couldn't even give her a proper massage. King Joey just looks confused as usual, and Pam says that he was the easiest one.

Plank mentions that he is looking for a prop forward for his Hockley- cum-Meston rugby team.

In chapter 5, Bertie reacts strongly when he hears that Sir Watkyn Bassett wants to hire Jeeves: "I reeled, and might have fallen, had I not been sitting at the time". This is a variation on a quote from Bram Stoker's Dracula, describing Arthur after he stakes Lucy in her grave: "The hammer fell from Arthur's hand. He reeled and would have fallen had we not caught him".Thompson (1992), pp. 7–8.

As a replacement, the site opened "Ask Peeves", a spoof on the Ask Jeeves search engine. In 2006, both the Leaky Cauldron and fellow Potter fansite MuggleNet shut down and redirected visitors to a new site, the Leaky Mug. The Leaky Mug's first announcement was the marriage of Leaky webmaster Melissa Anelli to MuggleNet webmaster Emerson Spartz. The two claimed to have merged their sites in the same way they had merged their lives.

Upon his departure, Barry Diller credited Lanzone as "the principal executive responsible for Ask.com's turnaround".SEO Roundtable profile One of Lanzone's primary achievements as CEO was the overhaul and rebranding of Ask Jeeves (renamed Ask.com).

Gussie is very shy in his first appearance, though he becomes more confident and assertive over time. Having first become interested in newts as a child, Gussie became more devoted to studying them through university and afterward, eventually studying newts in a pond at his home in Lincolnshire. Later, he carries newts around in glass tanks. Knowledgeable about newts, he once describes the courtship practices of newts to Bertie WoosterWodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 2, p. 30.

With Jeeves, Bertie arrives and meets Cornelia, her husband Everard, and his father Edward. Aunt Dahlia explains to Bertie that Edward, an amateur artist, painted Venus and gave the painting for Everard as a wedding present, but Everard, a professional artist, cannot stand the painting. Aunt Dahlia shows Bertie one of Everard's paintings, which she claims is better, though Bertie does not see much difference. Cornelia has agreed to lower her price if Edward's painting is removed.

Jeeves supports Bertie's decision, which impresses Bertie because he turned down Jeeves's request for them to visit Florida after Christmas, because Bertie does not want to miss the Drones Club Darts Tournament.

She was engaged to Eggleston, but he broke the engagement when Bertie kissed her.

Aunt Agatha visits Bertie and tells him his cousins Claude and Eustace, who have been expelled from Oxford, are being sent to work in South Africa. She instructs Bertie to look after them for a night. Bertie is concerned his cousins will cause trouble, but Jeeves is unsympathetic because he disapproves of Bertie's new spats with Etonian colours.

In some of the Jeeves and Wooster novels, "Arnold Abney" is the name of Bertie's prep school headmaster, otherwise known as Aubrey Upjohn.

In the years after the war, Wodehouse steadily increased his sales, polished his existing characters and introduced new ones. Bertie and Jeeves, Lord Emsworth and his circle, and Ukridge appeared in novels and short stories; Psmith made his fourth and last appearance; two new characters were the Oldest Member, narrating his series of golfing stories,Usborne, p. 166 and Mr Mulliner, telling his particularly tall tales to fellow patrons of the bar at the Angler's Rest.Usborne, p.

He appears in the one short story he does not narrate, "Bertie Changes His Mind", and does not make an appearance in Ring for Jeeves, though he is mentioned. An important story for Bertie is "Clustering Round Young Bingo", in which Bertie writes an article titled "What the Well-Dressed Man is Wearing" for his Aunt Dahlia's weekly magazine, Milady's Boudoir. For his article, Aunt Dahlia paid Bertie a packet of cigarettes.Garrison (1991), pp. 219–221.

The only evidence of Bertie wearing a monocle occurs in "The Spot of Art", when Bertie sees a portrait of himself, wearing a monocle, in a poster advertising soup. Bertie is revolted by the image, which gives him a look of "bestial greed". The monocle seems to exaggerate this expression, and Bertie makes fun of how large the monocle looks, calling it "about six inches in circumference".Wodehouse (2008) [1930], Very Good, Jeeves, chapter 6, p. 158-159.

Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 10, p. 210. Relieved after Madeline Bassett leaves the room to retrieve Gussie's notebook, Bertie says, "She hurried out, and I sat down at the piano and began to play 'Happy Days Are Here Again' with one finger. It was the only method of self-expression that seemed to present itself." In Thank You, Jeeves, he attempts to play the banjolele, apparently with little success despite his enthusiasm.

Betty Jeeves; 'Rainbow Lorikeets Gone From Bay', 17 August 2011; Bay of Plenty Times Many fruit orchard owners consider them a pest, as they often fly in groups and strip trees containing fresh fruit. In urban areas, the birds create nuisance noise and foul outdoor areas and vehicles with droppings. In Western Australia, a major impact of the rainbow lorikeet is competition with indigenous bird species. This includes domination of food sources and competition for increasingly scarce nesting hollows.

Agatha Gregson, née Wooster, later Lady Worplesdon, is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being best known as Bertie Wooster's Aunt Agatha.

She is often mentioned in the stories as being Bertie's fearsome aunt, in contrast to her sister Aunt Dahlia, Bertie's genial aunt.

Paid inclusion has its advantages and drawbacks. The advantage of a paid inclusion search engine is that spam is reduced while relevancy improves. However, detractors of paid inclusion allege that it causes searches to return results based more on the economic standing of the interests of a web site, and less on the relevancy of that site to end-users. Ask Jeeves reported that paid inclusion reduced relevancy and, in 2004, ended its paid inclusion program.

She believes that this was a present from Bertie and has renewed their engagement, to Bertie's horror. Boko, who was once engaged to Florence, agrees to disclose how he alienated her if Bertie insults Worplesdon, but Jeeves reveals that Boko alienated her by kicking Edwin.

Wreck of the Sheraton Between the world wars, P. G. Wodehouse often visited his friend Charles Le Strange at Hunstanton Hall. It influenced a number of locations in his comic novels, as Aunt Agatha's country seat Woollam Chersey and the inspiration for the setting for Money for Nothing (1928). The octagon in the garden featured in "Jeeves and the Impending Doom". Norfolk also furnishes names for many of Wodehouse's characters, such as Brancaster, Jack Snettisham and J. Sheringham Adair.

Saturnin is a 1942 humorous novel by Zdeněk Jirotka, with characters such as the dangerous servant Saturnin, the annoying Aunt Kateřina and her son Milouš, Uncle František, Doctor Vlach, and the narrator's grandfather.

The parson, Heppenstall, doubts Harold, and dismisses him from the choir, disqualifying him from the race. Steggles smugly tells Bertie he has lost his money, since Bertie did not bet on starting price but instead placed an ante-post bet, meaning Bertie forfeits his wager if Harold cannot race. To make up for their loss over Harold, Jeeves tells Bingo to bet on Prudence Baxter for the Girls' Egg and Spoon Race. Bertie meets Prudence and doubts she will win. Mrs.

The only information given to the reader about how the policeman got there is when he says, "We had a telephone call at the station saying there was somebody in Miss Mapleton's garden." After reading the story, the reader can look back and infer that Jeeves called the police himself or got someone else to do it, knowing the incident would ultimately make Bertie seem heroic to Miss Mapleton and would make Bertie realize the dangers of Bobbie's scheming.Thompson (1992), p. 155.

It is made into a separate syllable, which Wodehouse represents with the spellings "desi-ah", "hee-yah", and "they-ah" respectively. Gandle's exaggerated pronunciation of the final vowel in the words "Nature" and "razor" is shown by the spellings "Na-chah" and "ra-zah".

Sir Watkyn flushes the newts down the bath-drain and angrily forbids the marriage. Speechless with rage, Gussie gives Sir Watkyn the notebook of insults. Bertie realizes that Sir Watkyn will now never relent unless compelled to do so and the only way to compel him seems to be to steal the cow-creamer and hold it as ransom for Sir Watkyn's approval of Gussie as a husband for Madeline. Aunt Dahlia steals the cow-creamer and Jeeves puts it in a suitcase.

Neil Hallett (born John W. Neil; 30 June 1924 – 5 December 2004) was a Belgian-born English actor. His stage name was taken from a combination of his proper surname, Neil, and his grandmother's maiden name, Hallet. He appeared in many British television series and films, including X the Unknown, The Adventures of Robin Hood, No Hiding Place, The Avengers, Out of the Unknown, Department S, Z-Cars, UFO, Virgin Witch, The New Avengers, Doctor Who, Jeeves and Wooster and others.

The production had the same director as the original production, Sean Foley, and the same designer, Alice Power. A UK tour began on 18 February 2020 and was scheduled to run through 31 May 2020, with Matthew Cavendish as Bertie Wooster, Andrew Ashford as Jeeves, and Andrew Cullum as Seppings.

The Carr-Jeeves House stands in a small residential area northwest of downtown Winchester, on the north side of Lake Street between Middlesex and Linden Streets. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full second story, and a clapboarded exterior. It has an L-shaped layout, with a gable end section facing the street, below which is a squared projecting bay. The windows on this facade are arched in polygonal fashion.

Carnera is mentioned by Bertie Wooster in the 1934 novel Right Ho, Jeeves, by P.G. Wodehouse on p. 234\. In his 1933 collection of short stories Mulliner Nights, Wodehouse described one character as follows: "He was built on large lines, and seemed to fill the room to overflowing. In physique he was not unlike what Primo Carnera would have been if Carnera hadn't stunted his growth by smoking cigarettes when a boy."Sherrin, Ned (Ed.), The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations, Oxford University Press, 2012.

Christopher Bruce (born 3 October 1945 in Leicester) is a British choreographer and performer. He was the Artistic Director of the Rambert Dance Company until 2002. He has choreographed many pieces from Andrew Lloyd- Webber/Alan Ayckbourn musical Jeeves at Her Majesty's Theatre, London in 1975. In addition to performing and choreographing, he has created many works for Rambert and for Nederlands Dans Theater, Houston Ballet and Cullberg Ballet and has had a long-term association with the English National Ballet and the Houston Ballet.

Tuppy and Angela reconcile by the end of the story. In Much Obliged, Jeeves, Angela and Tuppy have not married after being engaged for two years, due to a lack of funds on Tuppy's part. Dahlia Travers decides that L. P. Runkle of Runkle Enterprises owes Tuppy money for Tuppy's late father's invention, a headache remedy called Runkle's Magic Midgets. This product has been extremely profitable for Runkle, while Tuppy's father did not make any profit on the invention apart from his regular salary.

Elizabeth Heery (born 1961) is a British actress and writer. As an actress she works under the name Elizabeth Morton and is known for playing Madeline Bassett in seasons three and four of ITV series Jeeves and Wooster and for playing Lucinda Stoneway in seasons five, six, and seven of ITV's 90s sitcom Watching. Since 2016 she has been an ambassador for the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond. In 2018 she secured a two book deal with Ebury Press, part of penguin/Random House publishing.

Bertie Wooster's early education took place at the semi-fictional Malvern House Preparatory School, headed by Rev. Aubrey Upjohn, whom he meets again in Jeeves in the Offing. (Wodehouse himself attended a school by that name, in Kearsney, Kent, but the Malvern House that appears in the stories is in the fictional town of Bramley-on-Sea.) At Malvern House, Bertie’s friends called him "Daredevil Bertie", though Upjohn and others called him "Bungling Wooster".Wodehouse (2008) [1938], The Code of the Woosters, chapter 5, p. 114.

It was at Oxford that he first began celebrating the night of the annual Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge. Though ordinarily he drinks in moderation, Bertie says he is "rather apt to let myself go a bit" on Boat Race night, typically drinking more than usual and making mischief with his old school friends.Wodehouse (2008) [1925], Carry On, Jeeves, chapter 7, pp. 169–172. Specifically, Bertie and others tend to celebrate the occasion by stealing a policeman's helmet, though they often get arrested as a result.

Although the Littles' family life is happy for the most part, Rosie does not approve of Bingo's gambling habits and restricts him to an allowance. Occasionally, Bingo gets into trouble after losing money on wagers and tries to somehow make the money back while trying to keep Rosie from finding out. This happens in "Jeeves and the Impending Doom", in which Bingo loses money on a horse race and must get a job as a tutor for Thomas "Thos" Gregson, the troublesome son of Bertie's Aunt Agatha.

Joy in the Morning was written with elements of England from the early twentieth century, as with the other Jeeves stories, despite being published in 1946. In a letter to Townend, dated 7 March 1946, Wodehouse wondered how this aspect of the novel would be received, but noted optimistically that "my stuff has been out of date since 1914, and nobody has seemed to mind".Wodehouse (2013), p. 380. Wodehouse discussed the same subject in a letter written on 10 April 1946 to writer Compton Mackenzie.

IMDB listing The village is also mentioned in the series 3 episode of Jeeves and Wooster entitled "Bertie Sets Sail", when Bertie Wooster likens Lord Wilmot Pershaw's demeanour to "a wet weekend in Chalfont St. Giles". Other films and TV shows filmed in Chalfont St Giles include Hammer House of Horror, The Sweeney, and The Big Job (1965), starring Sid James and Dick Emery. The village is ideal for film production due to its close proximity to Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, and London.

Like Bertie, Ginger is prevented by his personal code from telling a woman he does not want to marry her. To spur Florence to break the engagement, Ginger wants the local newspaper to print the club book's pages about him, but Jeeves is unwilling to part with the book. Meanwhile, Spode is entranced by the reception he is getting at his speeches for Ginger, and thinks of renouncing his title and running for the Commons himself. This upsets Madeline, who wants to become a Countess.

The novel combined 11 previously published stories, of which the first six and the last were split in two, to make a book of 18 chapters. It is now often printed in 11 chapters, mirroring the original stories. All the stories had previously appeared in The Strand Magazine in the UK, between December 1921 and November 1922, except for one, "Jeeves and the Chump Cyril", which had appeared in the Strand in August 1918. That story had appeared in the Saturday Evening Post (US) in June 1918.

Wodehouse characters returned to the Lyric in By Jeeves, by Ayckbourn and Andrew Lloyd Webber, played in 1996. Siân Phillips starred as Marlene Dietrich in Pam Gems's play with music Marlene directed by Sean Mathias in 1997. Three transfers from other theatres followed: Antony Sher in the Royal Shakespeare Company's Cyrano de Bergerac (1997); Patrick Marber's Closer from the National Theatre; and Animal Crackers from the Royal Exchange, Manchester. The last show of the 1990s listed by the Lyric website is Ayckbourn's Comic Potential (1999).

Masterpiece is known for presenting adaptations of novels and biographies, but it also shows original television dramas. The first title to air was The First Churchills, starring Susan Hampshire as Sarah Churchill. Other programs presented on the series include The Six Wives of Henry VIII; Elizabeth R; I, Claudius; Upstairs, Downstairs; The Duchess of Duke Street; The Citadel; The Jewel in the Crown; Reckless; House of Cards; Traffik, and Jeeves and Wooster. More recent popular titles include Prime Suspect, The Forsyte Saga, Sherlock, and Downton Abbey.

Jeeves wants to go with Bertie on a round-the-world cruise but Bertie is not interested. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia sends Bertie to go to a particular antique shop and sneer at a silver eighteenth-century cow-creamer, to drive down its price for Aunt Dahlia's collector husband Tom Travers. In the shop, Bertie encounters the magistrate Sir Watkyn Bassett, who is also a collector. Sir Watkyn is accompanied by his future nephew-in-law Roderick Spode, the leader of a Fascist organization called the Black Shorts.

On television, he is remembered by fans of the science fiction series Doctor Who for his appearance in the 1982 serial Four to Doomsday as Bigon. Other TV credits include: The Baron, The Avengers episodes 'The Frighteners' (1961), 'Mandrake' (1964), and 'From Venus With Love' (1967), The Saint, The Champions, Department S, Z-Cars, Pennies from Heaven, The Omega Factor, Codename Icarus, The Box of Delights, Bergerac, Inspector Morse, Jeeves and Wooster, Minder, Antony and Cleopatra, She Fell Among Thieves (BBC), Oliver Twist, Ivanhoe and Jekyll & Hyde.

Roberta Jeeves, White Elephant Rules In modern usage, the term now often refers in addition to an extremely expensive building project that fails to deliver on its function or becomes very costly to maintain. Examples include prestigious but uneconomic infrastructure projects such as airports, dams, bridges, shopping malls and football stadiums built for the FIFA World Cup.Guardian Online – Guardian Article regarding Stadio delle Alpi March 2006 The term has also been applied to outdated or underperforming military projects like the U.S. Navy's Alaska-class cruiser.

His fiction includes Pulptime (W,. Paul Ganley, Publisher), in which Lovecraft, Long and Sherlock Holmes team up to solve a mystery; Scream for Jeeves: A Parody (Wodecraft Press, 1994), which retells some of Lovecraft's stories in the voice of P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster. An omnibus of these two titles has been issued as The Lovecraft Papers (Science Fiction Book Club, 1996); this contains the corrected/expanded version of Pulptime. He has also penned Lovecraft Chronicles (Subterranean Press, 2008), a novel based on Lovecraft's personal life.

Claiming that Bertie is financially dependent on Aunt Dahlia and that she would send Bertie to Canada if she discovered his debts, Jeeves says, "Should she learn of my official status, I do not like to envisage the outcome, though if I may venture on a pleasantry, it would be a case of outgo rather than outcome for Mr. Wooster".This joke is that Bertie would go (to Canada) rather than come. The humour of the pun derives not from the joke itself but through Jeeves's restraint in telling the joke.Thompson (1992), p. 278.

The following quote, spoken by Jeeves, shows an example of one of these final changes made by Wodehouse: "If your allusion is to the American poet John Howard Payne, sir, he compared it to its advantage with pleasures and palaces. He [called it sweet and] said there was no place like it" (phrase in brackets added). Another example: "'Should she learn of my official status, I do not like to envisage the outcome. If I may venture on a pleasantry...'" (becomes "...the outcome, though if I may venture...").

Jeeves, say "Theodore Oswaldtwistle, the thistle sifter, sifting a sack of thistles thrust three thorns through the thick of his thumb". :He did so with an intonation as clear as a bell, if not clearer. A version of this tongue twister was used in a song called Theophilus Thistler by Australian dance music group Sonic Animation. Their variation of the tongue twister is as follows: :Theophilus Thistler, :The thistle sifter, :In sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles, :Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, :Three thousand thistles.

Dr Bawa-Garba had an excellent record until then. Dr Jeeves Wijesuriya, the then junior doctors' committee chair for the British Medical Association (BMA), argued that these systemic shortcomings were not adequately considered in the initial trial. At the end of January 2018, BMA council chair, Chaand Nagpaul, expressed concerns over doctors' fears and challenges in working under pressure in the NHS. He explained that without clarity from the General Medical Council (GMC) and others, issues surrounding recording reflective learning would result in defensive practice and failure to learn from experience.

Heery's first TV role under the name Morton was playing Papagena in BBC sci-fi series The Tripods. As well as playing a regular in ITV series Jeeves and Wooster and Watching, she starred in BBC's Rockliffe's Folly, playing Hester Goswell, and was in seasons four and five of London's Burning, playing Helen Field. She guest starred in British TV series Spender, The Brothers McGregor, Brookside, Capital City, and Dear John. In 1988 she starred in Philip Ridley's film The Universe of Dermot Finn, which was officially selected for The Cannes Film Festival.

Critics generally find Widmerpool the most interesting and absorbing of the sequence's major characters. He has been described as "one of the most memorable characters of 20th century fiction",Drabble (ed.), p. 777 and according to the literary critic John Bayley is as "famous a character in the annals of English fiction as either Pickwick or Jeeves". Powell, in a 1978 interview, confessed that he had used Widmerpool as a bait to catch readers, but found that the character had taken over, to a greater extent than he would have wished.

In fact this was pushed by other cast members, as he did not hold a driving licence. He appeared in Not Only... But Also with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, alongside comic actors John Wells and Joe Melia, singing the absurdist comic song "Alan a' Dale". He appeared in the original London cast of the unsuccessful Andrew Lloyd Webber/Alan Ayckbourn musical Jeeves in 1975. He presented and narrated a semi-dramatised documentary titled A Pleasant Terror on the life and works of M. R. James, broadcast by ITV in December 1995.

Bertie Wooster and his friend Bingo Little were born in the same village only a few days apart. Bertie's middle name, "Wilberforce", is the doing of his father, who won money on a horse named Wilberforce in the Grand National the day before Bertie's christening and insisted on his son carrying that name.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 9, p. 92. The only other piece of information given about Bertie's father, aside from the fact that he had numerous relatives, is that he was a great friend of Lord Wickhammersley of Twing Hall.

Bertie speaks with pride of this achievement on several occasions, but in Right Ho, Jeeves, his friend Gussie Fink-Nottle, while intoxicated, publicly accuses Bertie of having won the award by cheating. Bertie stoutly denies this charge, however, and on the same occasion, Gussie makes other completely groundless accusations against other characters. Despite his pride over his accomplishment, Bertie does not remember precisely what the prize was, simply stating that it was "a handsomely bound copy of a devotional work whose name has escaped me".Wodehouse (2008) [1974], Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, chapter 7, p. 65.

In 2006, the "Jeeves" name was dropped and they refocused on the search engine, which had its own algorithm. In late 2010, facing insurmountable competition from more popular search engines like Google, the company outsourced its web search technology and returned to its roots as a question and answer site. Douglas Leeds was elevated from president to CEO in 2010. Ask.com has been criticized for its browser toolbar, which has been accused of behaving like malware due to its bundling with other software and the difficulty of its uninstallation.

Cadell was born in London. She has been appearing on British television, film, and theatre over the last thirty years. She has taken on a wide range of supporting and leading roles, including appearing in the TV series Victoria Wood in 1989, Jeeves and Wooster in 1993, Pie in the Sky (S2:E5 “Dead Right”) in 1995, and The Catherine Tate Show in 2006. Recently, she has played Dorothy Crowther in The Amazing Mrs Pritchard; Mrs Tishell in Doc Martin; and the Dean Mieke Miedema in Lab Rats.

Novelist P.G. Wodehouse whose aunt, Lucy Apollonia Wodehouse, was the wife of the vicar of Hanley Castle based several stories in the area. Severn End, the stately home of the Lechmere Baronets, is said to be the inspiration for Brinkley Court, the country seat for Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia. In addition, Hanley Castle Grammar School, 50 metres from St Mary's Church, was the model for Market Snodsbury Grammar School, in Right Ho Jeeves (1934). with at least one of the stories mentioning the School Hall, now the school library, in detail.

On TV, Treves played Harold 'Stinker' Pinker in three series of Jeeves and Wooster, starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. His other TV appearances include Life, Black Earth Rising, Next of Kin, Stan Lee's Lucky Man, The Interceptor, EastEnders, Doctors, Red Dwarf X (episode The Beginning), Lynda La Plante's Above Suspicion: Silent Scream, Bodily Harm and Charles II: The Power and The Passion, Soldier Soldier, The Lab, Boon and By the Sword Divided (as Charles II). As a child he appeared with his younger brother Patrick on the Christmas 1967 edition of Crackerjack.

An early version of Florence Craye appears in the Reggie Pepper story "Disentangling Old Percy" (1912), in which Florence has the same domineering personality. She has two younger brothers who are both old enough to be married, one ten years younger than she is, Edwin, and the other sixteen years younger than she, Percy (or Douglas). This early Florence appears to be a prototype for the later character, since in the Jeeves stories, Florence is a young woman, and Edwin, her only known sibling, is a young boy.Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 66–67.

The story is another adventure of Bertie Wooster and his resourceful valet Jeeves. Bertie is persuaded to brave the home of his fearsome Aunt Agatha and her husband Lord Worplesdon, knowing that his former fiancée, the beautiful and formidably intellectual Lady Florence Craye will also be in attendance. The title derives from an English translation of Psalms 30:5: :"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Wodehouse was working on the novel in Le Touquet, France, before he was interned by the occupying German authorities.

Thompson (1992), p. 222. Wodehouse scholar Richard Usborne used Joy in the Morning to highlight the difficulty of translating Wodehouse's English into another language, due to the combination of slang terms and allusions that Wodehouse employs. He compares Wodehouse's original text with a translation of Joy in the Morning into French by Denyse and Benoît de Fanscolombe, published by Amiot-Dumont under the title Jeeves, au secours!. Thus Wodehouse's phrase "to give the little snurge six of the best with a bludgeon" becomes, in French, "flanquer au maudit galopin une volée de martinet".

Roderick Spode, 7th Earl of Sidcup, often known as Spode or Lord Sidcup, is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves novels of English comic writer P. G. Wodehouse. In the first novel in which he appears, he is an "amateur dictator" and the leader of a fictional fascist group in London called the Saviours of Britain, also known as the Black Shorts. He leaves the group after he inherits his title. He has a low opinion of Jeeves's employer Bertie Wooster, whom he looks on as a thief.

Cawthorne (2013), pp. 104–111. In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, which takes place at Aunt Dahlia's country house, Brinkley Court, Spode has recently become Lord Sidcup. Bertie and his Aunt Dahlia plan to blackmail Spode with knowledge of "Eulalie" to keep Spode, who is a jewellery expert, from revealing that Aunt Dahlia's pearl necklace is a fake (she pawned the real one to raise money for her magazine, Milady's Boudoir). However, the blackmail plan is unsuccessful, because, as Spode tells Aunt Dahlia, he has sold Eulalie Soeurs.

The following is a list of recurring or notable fictional characters in the Drones Club stories of P. G. Wodehouse, listed in alphabetical order by surname. The Drones Club stories, which follow the adventures of various club members, include stories not already included in other Wodehouse series. Most of the stories in the Drones Club series star Freddie Widgeon or Bingo Little. Members of the Drones Club who appear in other series, such as Bertie Wooster (Jeeves stories) and Freddie Threepwood (Blandings Castle stories), can be found on lists for those series.

Minimal, economical sets were used, and Bertie's apartment had a contemporary design, including a central staircase and intricate screen door. In some ways, the interpretations of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves in the series differ from how the characters are described in Wodehouse's stories. Ian Carmichael portrayed Bertie Wooster with the nervous mannerisms that he had earlier brought to affable, bewildered characters in comedy films such as Lucky Jim, and added a stammer and a monocle, both noncanonical, to the character. He was also significantly older than the canonical Bertie Wooster.

The opening phrases of the song's lyrics are featured in a fine early Langston Hughes poem, "The Cat and the Saxophone, 2am" (1926), about a couple's interactions at a jazz club in the 1920s. It is sung in Series 3, Episode 1 of Jeeves and Wooster. It is played in the background of the film Cat's Meow, which tells the story of the mysterious death of Thomas H. Ince aboard the yacht of William Randolph Hearst. It is sung onstage in Season 4, Episode 7 of Boardwalk Empire.

Aunt Dahlia has bet on Simla's victory in the race, and arranged for poacher Herbert "Billy" Graham (a joking reference to evangelist Billy Graham) to kidnap the cat to sabotage Potato Chip. Graham brings the cat to Bertie's cottage, but Bertie pays Graham to return the cat to avoid trouble. After suggesting that Orlo approach Cook about his inheritance after Cook is mellowed by a good dinner, Jeeves goes to visit his aunt, Mrs. Pigott. Plank remembers that Bertie is Alpine Joe, and he and Cook suspect Bertie of stealing the cat.

Mr Moto had been introduced to readers in the 1935 novel No Hero. It was popular and was followed by Thank You, Mr Moto in 1936 and then Think Fast, Mr Moto in 1937. Twentieth Century Fox had three film series at the time – Charlie Chan, the Jones Family, and the Jeeves movies – and thought Mr Moto would make an ideal hero of a film series along the lines of Charlie Chan. In July 1936 Fox announced that they had bought the film rights to Think Fast, Mr Moto and Kenneth MacGowan would produce.

Their daughter Irene Crombie was born there in 1914. In 1915, part of Hogarth House was sold to leading Bloomsbury Set socialites Leonard and Virginia Woolf, who named their hobby business the Hogarth Press after the building. Charles Crombie continued to produce illustrations for books and magazines in the UK and US throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including the Dodd Mead edition of W. M. Thackeray's Vanity Fair (New York City, 1924). He illustrated 11 of P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves short stories published in The Strand Magazine between 1926 and 1930.

Torrens's television appearances include Consenting Adults, two episodes of Jeeves and Wooster, two episodes of Doctor Who ("Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood"), The Brittas Empire, Green Wing, Silk, The Government Inspector (as John Scarlett), The Last Detective and DI Spencer for a few episodes in The Bill in 2001.

In 2011, Torrens appeared in both episodes of an Outnumbered two-part special.

The site was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham while he was a freshman computer science major at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He launched the site to compare urban slang used by university students in different parts of California. He had previously created a spoof version of the Ask Jeeves web search engine while studying at Cal Poly but closed the website after he received an infringement letter. He created Urban Dictionary initially as a parody of actual dictionaries, which he thought tended to be "stuffy" and "take themselves too seriously".

Australian-born child actor Fraser MacIntosh (The Boy Cried Murder), then 11-years old, was cast as Jim Hawkins and flown to Spain for the shoot, which would have been directed by Jess Franco. About 70 percent of the Chimes at Midnight cast would have had roles in Treasure Island. However, funding for the project fell through. Eventually, Welles's own screenplay (under the pseudonym of O.W. Jeeves) was further rewritten, and formed the basis of the 1972 film version directed by John Hough, in which Welles played Long John Silver.

He was loaned to 20th Century Fox to play Bertie Wooster in Thank You, Jeeves! (1936), then had a good part as a soldier in The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) at Warners, an Imperial adventure film starring his one- time housemate Errol Flynn. Niven was fourth billed in Beloved Enemy (1936) for Goldwyn, supporting Merle Oberon with whom he became romantically involved.

Northrop Frye, Anatomy of Criticism, p 173, Besides the actual slaves of classical theater, he also appears as the scheming valet in Renaissance comedy, called the gracioso in Spanish. The zanni of Commedia dell'arte are often tricky slaves, as are Puss- in-Boots in Perrault's fairy tale, Jeeves in P. G. Wodehouse's work and Figaro. In fairy tales, the same function is often fulfilled by fairy godmothers, talking animals, and like creatures. Northrop Frye identified him as a central portion of the Myth of Spring comedy and a type of eiron character.

Like all butlers in properly run Edwardian homes, Beach is always known by his surname. He is a heavy-set man, whose favourite pastime is drinking port in the pantry, though he occasionally switches to brandy during crises. He has a pleasant singing voice, a mellow baritone reminiscent of a cask of very old, dry sherry. He is somewhat more emotional than Wodehouse's other famous domestic servant, Jeeves, although, when in the company of his masters, Beach generally limits himself to a slightly raised eyebrow, even when strongly moved.

Myriad Search was a metasearch engine developed by Aaron Wall which offered ad-free search results. Myriad Search allowed users to select search results from Ask Jeeves, Google, MSN, and Yahoo It was trialled ("in beta") from September 16, 2005, and in February 2006 Wall made the source code available as open source. He withdrew it altogether in 2009 because it had stopped working with Google. Myriad Search allowed users to select search depth and place bias on the search results from each of the major search engines.

Jeeves (1973–81) he played the recurring character Bingo Little. He narrated audio books of many of P. G. Wodehouse's books, performing voice characterisations for each character, and becoming possibly the most known narrator to ever perform the series. Cecil wrote occasionally for The Spectator and The Times Literary Supplement. In one piece he noted He also admitted that "... most of my experience has been in comedy, that’s the way life has taken me ... if I have any regrets, it’s that I didn’t do parts with more depth".

Roville-sur-Mer is a fictional resort in Northern France, 'in Picardy' (French Leave) and the setting of the likes of The Adventures of Sally and French Leave; the name, however, is reminiscent of Deauville and Boulogne-sur-Mer, on the Channel. It first appeared in two of the short stories collected in the book The Man Upstairs, published in the U.K. in 1914: Ruth in Exile and The Tuppenny Millionaire. It also appears in the short story, "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count" (in The Inimitable Jeeves).Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 216–217.

G.Wodehouse's, The World of Wooster, playing Bertie Wooster's outrageous Aunt Agatha, with Ian Carmichael (Bertie) and Dennis Price (the inimitable Jeeves), and an acclaimed performance as the eccentric, reclusive Anglo-Indian matriarch Mabel Layton in The Jewel in the Crown (1984). There were also two notable screen performances in her last years, as Catherine Alan in A Room with a View (1985) and as Madame de Rosemonde in Valmont (1989), in which The New York Times praised her performance for its "quiet dignity." She was awarded the OBE in 1987.

146–148Jeeves history on official Ayckbourn site Although his plays have received major West End productions almost from the beginning of his writing career, and hence have been reviewed in British newspapers, Ayckbourn's work was for years routinely dismissed as being too slight for serious study. Recently, scholars have begun to view Ayckbourn as an important commentator on the lifestyles of the British suburban middle class, and as a stylistic innovator who experiments with theatrical styles within the boundaries set by popular tastes. From the 1980s, Ayckbourn began to move away from the recurring themes of marriage and explore other contemporary themes, one example being Woman in Mind, a play performed entirely from the perspective of a Woman going through a nervous breakdown.P. Allen, 2001, pp. 213–217Woman in Mind history on official Ayckbourn site He also experimented with several more unconventional ways of writing plays, such as Intimate Exchanges, which has one beginning and sixteen possible endings, and House & Garden, where two plays take place simultaneously of two different stages, as well as diversifying into children's theatre (such as Mr A's Amazing Maze Plays and musical plays, such as By Jeeves (a more successful rewrite of the original Jeeves).

While Edwardian elements persist in Wodehouse's stories, for instance the popularity of gentlemen's clubs like the Drones Club, there are nevertheless references to contemporary events, as with a floating timeline. For example, in Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 17, Bertie makes a contemporary reference to nuclear fission experiments: > I was reading in the paper the other day about those birds who are trying to > split the atom, the nub being that they haven't the foggiest as to what will > happen if they do. It may be all right. On the other hand, it may not be all > right.

Stephen James Mangan (born 16 May 1968) is an English actor, comedian and presenter. He has played Guy Secretan in Green Wing, Dan Moody in I'm Alan Partridge, Sean Lincoln in Episodes, Bigwig in Watership Down, Postman Pat in Postman Pat: The Movie, and Andrew in Bliss (2018). As a stage actor, he was Tony-nominated for his portrayal of Norman in The Norman Conquests on Broadway. He also starred as Bertie Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense at the Duke of York's Theatre, which won the 2014 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.

17 Later in the same year "Extricating Young Gussie", the first story about Bertie and Jeeves, was published. These stories introduced two sets of characters about whom Wodehouse wrote for the rest of his life. The Blandings Castle stories, set in an English stately home, depict the attempts of the placid Lord Emsworth to evade the many distractions around him, which include successive pairs of young lovers, the machinations of his exuberant brother Galahad, the demands of his domineering sisters and super-efficient secretaries, and anything detrimental to his prize sow, the Empress of Blandings.Usborne, pp.

Jasen, p. 139 In 1935 Wodehouse created the last of his regular cast of principal characters, Lord Ickenham, otherwise known as Uncle Fred, who, in Usborne's words, "leads the dance in four novels and a short story... a whirring dynamo of misrule".Usborne, p. 127 His other books from the decade include Right Ho, Jeeves, which Donaldson judged his best work, Uncle Fred in the Springtime, which the writer Bernard Levin considered the best, and Blandings Castle, which contains "Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend", which Rudyard Kipling thought "one of the most perfect short stories I have ever read".

'[Muriel Spark's] new novel is an agile send-up of different kinds of popular fiction: detective stories, the Jeeves novels, and realistic tales about the servant problem. Read with these parallels in mind, Not to Disturb offers fresh laughter and acerbic insight into conventional ways of writing about the hypocrisies of master-servant relationships. Occasionally, the parody extends to other Gothic novels. ... Not to Disturb has the cleverness to entertain and the intelligence to provoke thought; but, finally, its philosophical mysteries look suspiciously like pretenses, and the book leaves the annoying as well as the stimulating after- effects of legerdemain.

Many episodes in the Wimsey books express a mild satire on the British class system, in particular in depicting the relationship between Wimsey and Bunter. The two of them are clearly the best and closest of friends, yet Bunter is invariably punctilious in using "my lord" even when they are alone, and "his lordship" in company. In a brief passage written from Bunter's point of view in Busman's Honeymoon Bunter is seen, even in the privacy of his own mind, to be thinking of his employer as "His Lordship". Wimsey and Bunter even mock the Jeeves and Wooster relationship.

He hosted three weekly radio shows and coordinated the volunteer services of American writers to help the war effort. After the war, Stout returned to writing Nero Wolfe novels and took up the role of gentleman farmer on his estate at High Meadow in Brewster, north of New York City. He served as president of the Authors Guild and of the Mystery Writers of America, which in 1959 presented Stout with the Grand Master Award – the pinnacle of achievement in the mystery field. Stout was a longtime friend of British humorist P. G. Wodehouse, writer of the Jeeves novels and short stories.

Brigstocke has a successful radio career including The Now Show (1998-, with Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis) and Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off (2002-2011). On 9 April 2006, Brigstocke appeared as Bertie Wooster in BBC Radio 4's adaptation of The Code of the Woosters (1938), with Andrew Sachs as Jeeves. Brigstocke hosted The Late Edition (2005-2008), which was promoted by the BBC as "Newsnight with jokes". Brigstocke has hosted talk show I've Never Seen Star Wars on BBC Radio 4 since 2008, transferring it to TV for one series as I've Never Seen Star Wars for BBC Four in 2009.

The collection's title is derived from P. G. Wodehouse's nickname, Plum. All stories except one belong to a large bag of P. G. Wodehouse regular series: one Jeeves, one golf story, one Blandings, one Ukridge, one Mr Mulliner, one longer Freddie Threepwood story, and two Drones Club members Bingo Little and Freddie Widgeon. Most of the stories had previously appeared in Argosy in the UK and in Playboy or The Saturday Evening Post in the US. The UK version included some extra items between the stories, mostly "Our Man in America" anecdotes originally appearing in Punch.

On television, an early significant role was as criminologist Ian Dimmock in the Granada TV series The Man in Room 17 and its sequel The Fellows (1965–67). His screen work included playing Pistol in Orson Welles' movie Chimes at Midnight in 1967. In 1975 Aldridge appeared in the title role of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Alan Ayckbourn's musical Jeeves, based on the stories by P. G. Wodehouse. Unfortunately the show was a rare flop for Webber, and the negative critical reaction led to Aldridge giving up his stage career to concentrate on television and film roles.

Aunts Aren't Gentlemen is a comic novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom in October 1974 by Barrie & Jenkins, London, and in the United States under the title The Cat-nappers on 14 April 1975 by Simon & Schuster, New York.McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist. New York: James H. Heineman, pp. 105. It was the last novel to feature some of Wodehouse's best known characters, Bertie Wooster and his resourceful valet Jeeves, and the last novel fully completed by Wodehouse before his death.

Bertie regularly abbreviates his words, with abbreviation becoming more common as the series progresses. Of the 143 cases of abbreviation or shortened words (such as "the old metrop"), only 11 occur in the short stories, and more than half occur in the novels that follow Ring for Jeeves (with that novel having none, as Bertie is not present in the book). In order to make the abbreviations comprehensible, Bertie either introduces a word first and then abbreviates it, or abbreviates a familiar, clichéd phrase. Wodehouse uses these abbreviations to repeat information in varied and humorous ways.

In Bertie's flat in London, around half past eleven, Jeeves wakes Bertie up telling him that his Aunt Agatha has come to see him. She is distressed that Augustus "Gussie" Mannering-Phipps, her nephew and Bertie's cousin living in New York City, has fallen for a girl named Ray Denison who is a vaudeville performer. Concerned about the family's prestige, Aunt Agatha does not want Gussie to marry a vaudeville performer like his late father did, though Gussie's mother Julia learned to be aristocratic. Aunt Agatha demands that Bertie go to New York and keep Gussie from marrying Ray.

This show was adapted for television as The Charlie Chester Show in 1949 and became a standup and sketch show for the next 11 years. Frequent cast members included Edwina Carroll, Henry Lytton, Jr., Eric 'Jeeves' Grier, Len Lowe, Deryck Guyler, Len Marten, Arthur Haynes and Frederick Ferrari. A later recurring mini-serial in the show was "Whippit Kwik the Cat Burglar", whose whistled signature tune made Chester a national favourite. Tenor St Clair was replaced by Ferrari, known as "The Voice", and for whom Chester wrote the signature song "When Love Descended like an Angel".

Broadcast on Thursday 25 December 1958. Introduced by David Nixon and starring Charlie Chester with Eric 'Jeeves' Grier, The George Mitchell Singers and The Television Toppers, The Beverley Sisters, Charlie Drake with Dave Freeman, Perry Como, Ted Ray with Kenneth Connor, David Nixon with Sheila Holt, Tony Hancock with Totti Truman Taylor, Alec Bregonzi and Percy Edwards, Vera Lynn with The Lynnettes, Jimmy Edwards with Arthur Howard, John Stirling, David Langford and Jeremy Roughton, Billy Cotton and his Band with Alan Breeze and The Leslie Roberts Silhouettes, Jack Warner with Arthur Rigby, Jeannette Hutchinson, Peter Byrne, Anthony Parker, Moira Mannion and Graham Ashley.

In "The Spot of Art", she wants Bertie to accompany her on a cruise. In "The Love That Purifies", her son Bonzo competes against her nephew Thomas ("Thos"), Aunt Agatha's son, in a good conduct contest. In "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy", she again wants Tuppy Glossop, who has fallen for the athletic Miss Dalgleish, to return to Angela. As a Governor of Market Snodsbury Grammar School, she asks Bertie in Right Ho, Jeeves to award prizes and give a speech at the school, though Bertie pushes this task onto Gussie Fink-Nottle, whom Aunt Dahlia always calls "Spink-Bottle".

He appeared in similar films for other producers including School for Scoundrels (1960) and in the "Pride" segment of The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins (1971). During the 1960s and 1970s, he worked in television, including the sitcom Bachelor Father, based on the story of a real-life bachelor who took on several foster children. For the BBC he was Bertie Wooster, opposite Dennis Price as Jeeves, in several series of The World of Wooster, based on the works of P. G. Wodehouse. In later years, he was heard on BBC radio as Galahad Threepwood, another Wodehouse creation.

He also played "the Poulterer" in a 2004 television adaptation of A Christmas Carol. He appears alongside Terence Stamp, Vanessa Redgrave and Gemma Arterton in "Song For Marion" released this year. In theatre, he has played Deputy and Snake Preacher in Whistle Down the Wind, Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Show in the English Theatre Frankfurt, Bob Cratchit in the 2004 touring version of Scrooge and Gussie Fink-Nottle in the 2007 UK tour of By Jeeves. In Germany, he played "Bob" the pizza-boy-eating alien for the T-Online television and poster campaign.

On 9 April 2006, Brigstocke appeared in BBC Radio 4's Classic Serial adaptation of The Code of the Woosters as Bertie Wooster with Andrew Sachs as Jeeves. The show is sometimes available online in the 'Comedy and Quizzes' section of the BBC radio on demand website. The series is often repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra. In July 2007 Giles appeared on BBC Four television in Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes to Glastonbury, which contained a mixture of material from throughout the history of the radio show and from the similarly titled Radio 4 episode which had been broadcast only the week previously.

For instance, Bertie sometimes refers to Aunt Dahlia as "aged relative", and abbreviates this when speaking to her in chapter 5: "'Let me explain, aged r.'".Thompson (1992), p. 324. As in many of the Jeeves novels, Bertie takes time in the beginning of The Code of the Woosters to ponder how much he should summarize previous events. In chapter 1, after Gussie Fink-Nottle is first mentioned, Bertie states: > A thing I never know, when I'm starting out to tell a story about a chap > I've told a story about before, is how much explanation to bung in at the > outset.

Sachs performed all the voices in the English-language version of Jan Švankmajer's 1994 film Faust. He also did voices for children's animation, including William's Wish Wellingtons, Starhill Ponies, The Gingerbread Man, Little Grey Rabbit, The Forgotten Toys and Asterix and the Big Fight. Other roles for radio have included G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown, 1984/'86, Dr. John Watson in four series of original Sherlock Holmes stories for BBC Radio 4, Jeeves in The Code of the Woosters, Edmond Dantès in The Count of Monte Cristo on BBC Radio 7's "Young Classics" series, and Tooley in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere.

This puts Bertie in danger since Madeline incorrectly believes Bertie wants to marry her, and he is expected to marry her if she drops Gussie. Gussie secretly writes insults about Bassett and Spode in a notebook, but loses the notebook and worries about what will happen if they read it. Stiffy Byng schemes to get her uncle's approval to marry a penniless curate whom she loves, and to divest her enemy Constable Oates of his helmet. Despite various challenges and mishaps, Bertie manages to tell the story of his weekend at Totleigh Towers with the assistance of Jeeves and Seppings.

A fictional village located in Shropshire, similar in name to the real town Much Wenlock. It is the home of cricket enthusiast Joan Romney in five short stories published between 1905 and 1909, of Wilmot "Motty", Lord Pershore, in "Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest", and of Bruce Carmyle in The Adventures of Sally. It is also the birthplace of Jeremy Garnet in Love Among the Chickens (spelled Much Middleford in some editions), Ashe Marson in Something Fresh, and Sally Fitch in Bachelors Anonymous. Psmith is from Corfby Hall, near Much Middleford, in Leave it to Psmith.

More Fool Me: A Memoir is the 2014 autobiography of Stephen Fry. The book is a continuation from the end of his 1997 publication, Moab Is My Washpot: An Autobiography, and the 2010 The Fry Chronicles: An Autobiography. It contains an overview of these previous two volumes, and an account of Fry's later cocaine addiction, chiefly covering the years 1986–93. Other major topics include Fry's writing of The Hippopotamus, his work on the TV series A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster and Blackadder Goes Forth; the radio series Saturday Night Fry; and the films Peter's Friends and Stalag Luft.

In 2011, Trainor starred as Bertie Wooster in the revival of By Jeeves, a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Alan Ayckbourn, at the Landor Theatre in Clapham, London. He was off-stage for just thirty seconds during the performance. Later in the year he returned to the Old Vic to play a "strapping" Shawn Keogh in Playboy of the Western World directed by John Crowley. Trainor returned to his native Northern Ireland in 2012 to appear in ensemble play Titanic (Scenes from the British Wreck Commissioner's Inquiry 1912) by Owen McCafferty at the new MAC Theatre in Belfast.

Gussie says that the dinner was attended by Bertie Wooster, Freddie Widgeon, Bingo Little, Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright, and Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps, among others. Bertie states that Gussie loves cold steak and kidney pie so much that Bertie has known him to order it "even on curry day at the Drones",Wodehouse (2008) [1963], Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 7, p. 57. and it is implied by Wodehouse in a 1937 letter he wrote to The Times that one can find Gussie at the Drones Club. Gussie is described as a Drone in two books about Wodehouse's characters, Who's Who in Wodehouse by Daniel H. GarrisonGarrison (1991), p. 70.

Other television appearances included The Benny Hill Show (1970) and George and Mildred (1978). His film appearances included Carry On Regardless (1961), Carry On Cruising (1962), Band of Thieves (1962) (where he had one of the main roles) and Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1965). His directorial credits included directing Simon Ward in Perchance to Dream, Patrick Cargill in Don't Misunderstand Me, Mollie Sugden in My Giddy Aunt, Windsor Davies in My Wife Whatsername, Peggy Mount in Blithe Spirit, and the original production of Jeeves Takes Charge with Edward Duke. After the death of his wife in 1999, he retired to York where he died in 2005.

Psmith, featured in stories such as The Golden Bat before Wodehouse invented the character of Jeeves, was named for a pre-war Warwickshire CCC cricketer. Wodehouse opened the batting for Dulwich College, but his field tenure with HCC was limited due to script-writing commitments. The Hollywood Cricket Club built a pavilion at the ground which still stands, though it has since been turned into a wedding reception center at the Burbank Equestrian Center. The original Griffith Park ground had four pitches and it was officially opened on 23 May 1933 with Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Director Williamson as the guest of honor.

In August 2013, Big Data released an interactive video entitled "Facehawk", which, if given permission, connects to the viewer's Facebook profile and turns their timeline into a video. The video starts by displaying the viewer's Facebook home page and making it appear to update its status, then launches into a more abstract visual experience where pictures and status updates assemble to form a hawk. The project was created in collaboration with interactive artist and director Rajeev "Jeeves" Basu. According to the band, the video serves as a visual reminder for the audience about how much information they have shared on their Facebook profile, and how far back that information reaches.

In an early story, Bertie claims that "bar a weekly wrestle with the 'Pink 'Un' and an occasional dip into the form book I'm not much of a lad for reading",Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 17, p. 236. yet Bertie is frequently in the middle of reading a mystery or crime novel in later stories. He states that he is never happier than when curled up with the latest Agatha Christie,Wodehouse (2008) [1974], Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, chapter 8, p. 83. and regularly references literary characters in mystery and crime fiction, including Christie's Hercule Poirot and others such as Sherlock Holmes, A. J. Raffles, and Nero Wolfe.

Bertie encounters a number of adversaries who are suspicious of him or threaten him in some way. These individuals are often quick to misinterpret Bertie's actions, which may seem strange due to the bizarre situations he becomes involved in, and come to the conclusion that Bertie is somehow mentally unsound or that he is a thief. Among Bertie's various adversaries, those who appear in the most Jeeves stories are the "nerve specialist" or "loony doctor" Sir Roderick Glossop (4 short stories, 2 novels), and the intimidating "amateur dictator" Roderick Spode (4 novels), though Sir Roderick Glossop later becomes Bertie's friend. Others antagonists include Sir Watkyn Bassett and Major Plank.

Richard P. "Bingo" Little is a recurring fictional character in the comedic Jeeves and Drones Club stories of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, being a friend of Jeeves's master Bertie Wooster and a member of the Drones Club. In his early appearances, Bingo, who has an impulsive and romantic nature, falls in love with numerous women in quick succession, generally pursuing an absurd scheme to woo his latest love interest and invariably causing problems for his pal Bertie. Eventually, Bingo marries Rosie M. Banks, and their married life is a happy one for the most part, though his proclivity for gambling sometimes gets him into trouble.

Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 10, p. 114. To his great relief, she turns him down, as she is in love with Gussie; she assures Bertie that, if ever her engagement to Gussie were to fail, Bertie is the first person she would look to as a replacement fiancé. Since Bertie's personal code does not allow him to insult her by correcting her misunderstanding or rejecting her offer, he is thereafter under threat of having to marry her if she rejects her first choice. She becomes engaged (and disengaged) frequently in the novels, having idealistic standards that sometimes her fiancé cannot live up to.

Literary references are common in Wodehouse's stories, with comic changes often being made to the quotations. This is accomplished in a number of ways, such as when Bertie uses quotations in unusual contexts, or paraphrases them using colloquial language. Jeeves also provides ways of altering standard quotations. For example, he occasionally breaks up the familiar rhythm of poetry by inserting an unnecessary "sir" or "madam" into the quotation, as when he quotes from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in chapter 14: "There's not the smallest orb which thou beholdest, sir, but in his motion like an angel sings, still quiring to the young-eyed cherubims".

At first, she is upset that Bertie Wooster had impersonated her, though they are friends by the next story in which she appears. In "Clustering Round Young Bingo", she submitted an article for Milady's Boudoir (the women's paper of Dahlia Travers, Bertie's Aunt Dahlia), entitled "How I Keep the Love of My Husband-Baby", which, fortunately for her husband, has not been published. She employed chef extraordinaire Anatole until Aunt Dahlia stole him from her with the help of Jeeves in the same short story, and is thus unlikely to write further for Mrs Travers. However, the Littles did receive an excellent housemaid in a sort of exchange.

In Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, which takes place at Totleigh Towers, Spode is as protective of Madeline as ever and threatens to break Bertie's neck when he thinks that he has caused Madeline to cry (she was shedding a tear because she thought Bertie was lovesick and could not stay away from her). Spode, seeing Gussie kiss Emerald Stoker, threatens to break Gussie's neck as well and calls him a libertine. Harold Pinker steps forward to protect Gussie, and after Spode hits Pinker on the nose, Pinker, an expert boxer, knocks him out. Spode soon wakes up, but is knocked out again, by Emerald.

Sir Roderick Spode is appalled when he learns that Madeline Bassett is engaged to Gussie Fink-Nottle. Gussie is naturally terrified of Spode, and even the smallest misunderstanding will put his life in jeopardy. Spode has two jobs—he is the leader of the Black Shorts, a tiny multi-aged group dressed in black shorts, but also designs and sells women's underwear, being the proprietor of a lingerie shop called Eulalie Soeurs. He is perpetually in fear that his followers in his first role will discover his second one and it is the threat of this disclosure which is used by Jeeves to stop him assaulting Bertie.

Founded in 1950 as Eastlea Boys' High School, headmaster E.J. 'Jeeves' Hougaard helped inspire most of Churchill's traditions. Hougaard is credited with establishing the name of the school and its affiliation to Winston Churchill and his family, and the school mascot, the bulldog. The school was established using the name Eastlea Boys High School and operated at Roosevelt Girls High for the first two terms while a block was being built at Eastlea Boys High. It happened then that the headmaster, Mr. Hougaard, wrote to the then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Winston Spencer Churchill, to rename the Eastlea Boys High School after him and the permission was granted.

There had long been speculation that Jeeves and Wooster author P.G.Wodehouse had based his fictitious Blandings Castle on Apley. In 2003, Dr Daryl Lloyd and Dr Ian Greatbatch (two researchers in the Department of Geography and Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London) made use of a Geographic Information System to analyse a set of geographical criteria, such as a viewshed analysis of The Wrekin and drive time from Shrewsbury. Their final conclusion was that Apley was the best suited location for fulfilling the geographical criteria. During 2004 the house was sold to specialist developers who have since divided the Hall into several self-contained houses.

Television credits include: The Adventures of Robin Hood, A Tale of Two Cities, Dixon of Dock Green, Danger Man, Kessler, The Forsyte Saga, Man in a Suitcase, The Avengers, Colditz, Doctor at Large, Gazette, Public Eye, Sutherland's Law, Softly, Softly, The Professionals, Rumpole of the Bailey, A Tale of Two Cities, Prince Regent, Doctor Who, Bergerac, Miss Marple, Dempsey and Makepeace, Rockliffe's Babies, Howards' Way, A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster. In Dempsey and Makepeace, Ralph Michael played the part of Lord Winfield, Harriet Makepeace's father, in three episodes, "Armed and Extremely Dangerous", "Make Peace not War" and "Cry God for Harry".

Bertie later learns from her that the announcement is fake; Bobbie's plan is that her mother, who does not like Bertie, will be so relieved that Bobbie is not actually engaged to Bertie that she will readily approve of Bobbie's engagement to the man Bobbie really wants to marry, Reginald "Kipper" Herring. Her mother might not otherwise approve, since, though Bobbie loves Kipper, she acknowledges that he does not have a title and is not wealthy.Wodehouse (2008) [1960], Jeeves in the Offing, chapter 3, pp. 31-34. Bobbie and Kipper have disputes in the novel but they ultimately reconcile and are engaged at the end of the story.

Fry in "Happy Birthday to GNU (2008)" Stephen Fry is an English actor, comedian, author and television presenter. With Hugh Laurie, as the comedy double act Fry and Laurie, he co-wrote and co-starred in A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and the duo also played the title roles in Jeeves and Wooster. Fry played the lead in the film Wilde, was Melchett in the Blackadder television series and was the host of celebrity comedy trivia show, QI. He has contributed columns and articles for newspapers and magazines, and has written four novels and three autobiographies, Moab Is My Washpot, The Fry Chronicles, and More Fool Me: A Memoir.

Bicky is staying in New York and the Duke of Chiswick finds out. He arrives in New York and believes Bertie's apartment belongs to his son, and seeing that Bicky is apparently doing well, cuts his allowance off. Since Bicky needs funds to start a chicken farm, something he believes will make him independent of his allowance, this happens at an unfortunate time for him. Jeeves solves Rocky's dilemma by giving Aunt Isabel misleading directions to a show; she ends up at a temperance meeting which causes her to change her views, and she insists on Rocky leaving New York in order to live quietly in the countryside.

His name and English origin bears resemblance to Jeeves, the fictional sagacious valet in the books by P. G. Wodehouse. When Iron Man (Tony Stark) called the Avengers' first meeting and donated the Stark house as the Avengers Mansion headquarters, Jarvis grew accustomed to the guests and served the Avengers for many years thereafter, acting as a father figure to some of the newcomers. Jarvis was there when the first guest, the time-lost Captain America (Steve Rogers), became a member of the Avengers. He was the only one to stay with the Avengers for their entire existence, a distinction not even Captain America can claim.

Annett has spent time in America, where she had a part in the 1992 TV miniseries Jewels. Back in Britain, most of her roles were bit parts, although she played the starring role of Holly Turner in Crime Traveller in 1997 alongside Michael French, who played Jeff Slade. In 1992, she played the part of Gertrude Winkworth in one episode of the Granada's series Jeeves and Wooster, based on the novels of P.G. Wodehouse, in which Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry starred. She also played Angela Mortimer, the great-niece of Mrs Pumphrey and the love interest of Tristan Farnon, in one episode ("Hampered") of All Creatures Great and Small.

Brian Eastman (born 3 September 1949, Brighton, UK) is a producer of feature films (such as Shadowlands and Under Suspicion), television drama (such as Agatha Christie's Poirot and Jeeves and Wooster), and stage productions (such as Shadowlands, Misery, Up on the Roof). He has received two BAFTA awards and two international Emmy awards and his productions have received many other awards and nominations. He is a Fellow of the Royal Television Society. He divides his time between the UK and US. Eastman founded the independent production company Carnival Films and between 1980 and 2006 produced over 300 hours of television drama, eight feature films and 10 stage productions.

His parents had intended to name him "Iain Menzies Banks", but his father made a mistake when registering the birth and "Iain Banks" became the officially registered name. Despite this error, Banks used the middle name and submitted The Wasp Factory for publication as "Iain M. Banks". Banks's editor inquired about the possibility of omitting the 'M' as it appeared "too fussy" and the potential existed for confusion with Rosie M. Banks, a romantic novelist in the Jeeves novels by P.G. Wodehouse; Banks agreed to the omission. After three mainstream novels, Banks's publishers agreed to publish his first science fiction (SF) novel Consider Phlebas.

Plimsoll appears again in Galahad at Blandings, which sees his engagement to Veronica once more under threat, and requiring further finess from Gally to smooth out; the two eventually elope to a register office, avoiding the need for a large wedding, taking with them Wilfred Allsop and Monica Simmons, whom Tipton was instrumental in bringing together. In the short story "Birth of a Salesman", Lord Emsworth comes to America for the wedding of Tipton with Veronica. Tipton’s final appearance is off-stage in the final Jeeves novel, “Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen”, as a friend of Bertie Wooster who recommends the medical services of E. Jimpson Murgatroyd when Bertie also discovers pink spots on his chest.

After Honoria leaves, Aunt Agatha tells Bertie that Honoria's father, Sir Roderick Glossop, a so-called nerve specialist and a serious-minded man, wants to verify that Bertie is psychologically normal; therefore, Bertie must give Sir Roderick lunch the next day and behave well. Off-handedly, Aunt Agatha adds that Bertie's cousins, the twins Claude and Eustace, hope to be elected soon to a college club called The Seekers. The next day, Bertie walks in the park, where he is greeted by Eustace, Claude, and their friend "Dog-Face", Lord Rainsby. Bertie realizes he is late for lunch with Sir Roderick and returns home to find that Sir Roderick has not yet arrived and Jeeves has prepared the lunch.

During the twentieth century, its most famous resident was the English writer P.G. Wodehouse. He wrote many of the escapades of Bertie Wooster and his manservant, Jeeves, from a home on Basket Neck Lane in Remsenburg. Other residents of note include the songwriter Frank Loesser, who wrote for Broadway shows including Guys and Dolls; the playwright Guy Bolton, who collaborated with Wodehouse on Anything Goes; Marvel Comics editor Stan Lee; Sandy Becker, a New York children's television host, and Dave Garroway, the original host of NBC's Today Show when it first aired in January 1952. Remsenburg is an exclusive area, and many well known actress/actors/playwrights/directors live in this hamlet of Southampton.

Bertie never marries, but frequently finds himself engaged. In the early years, he is rather given to impulsive and short-lived infatuations, under the influence of which he proposes to Florence Craye (in "Jeeves Takes Charge", the fourth story in terms of publication and the first in the internal timeline of the books), to Pauline Stoker, and to Bobbie Wickham. In all of these cases, he rethinks the charms of the holy state and a "lovely profile" upon closer understanding of the personalities of the girls in question. Having already received a proposal from him, each girl assumes that she has an open invitation to marry Bertie whenever she has a spat with her current fiancé.

Horder was born in London on 8 December 1910. He was the youngest child and only son of Thomas Jeeves Horder, 1st Baron Horder, known as ‘Tommy’, who was created a baronet in 1923 and Baron Horder in 1933 in recognition of his services as physician to several British monarchs and Prime Ministers. Horder became the second Baron on the death of his father in 1955, inheriting the house and gardens at Ashford Chace, near Steep. After studies at Winchester College and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read classics, in the early 1930s Mervyn Horder attended the Guildhall School of Music, studying principally composition; he had also become a competent pianist.

For example, in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (1954), when Bertie is surprised to hear that his Aunt Dahlia wants to sell her weekly paper, he remarks, "It was like hearing that Rodgers had decided to sell Hammerstein."Thompson (1992), pp. 343–344. "Dozens of references to contemporary events and personalities give the series its second kind of time, with the world changing around the unaging characters." (This is a reference to Rodgers and Hammerstein, who created popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s.) However, certain Edwardian era elements, such as aristocratic country houses and traditional gentlemen's clubs like the Drones Club, continue to be prevalent throughout the series, despite becoming less common in the real world.

In 1861 George Catlin published many engravings illustrating adenoid facies and its complications in his book Breath of Life, where he advocated nose- breathing. In his 1984 autobiographical book Boy: Tales of Childhood, author Roald Dahl devotes a chapter to the time he had his adenoids removed without any anaesthetic. This occurred in 1924, when Dahl was 8 years old. In P.G. Wodehouse's Right Ho, Jeeves, Gussie Fink Nottle begins his memorable prize giving speech by explaining that his predecessor in the role was unable to make it because he was dying of adenoids. In Gravity's Rainbow, by American novelist Thomas Pynchon, Lord Blatherand Osmo is “assimilated by his own growing Adenoid, some horrible transformation of cell plasma it is quite beyond Edwardian medicine to explain”.

He began the 1930s writing for MGM in Hollywood.

Despite the lukewarm reception of the Alien prequel films, Michael Fassbender's portrayal of David was met with critical acclaim, with his performance generally considered to be the standout. Following the critics screening of Prometheus in May 2012, critics from a number of media companies, including /Film and Screen International, proclaimed Fassbender to have been the highlight of the film. Forrest Wickman of Slate magazine lauded Fassbender for being able to emulate uncanny valley through his mannerisms alone and ranked David as being the greatest portrayal of an android to date. Philip French from The Guardian praised the character for being a cross between the fictional valet Jeeves, created by P. G. Wodehouse, and a double agent commonly found in an English Renaissance theatre production.

Kevin Wanner compares the use of a sliding timescale in comics to the way ageless figures in myths are depicted interacting with the contemporary world of the storyteller. When certain stories in comics, especially origin stories, are rewritten, they often retain key events but are updated to a contemporary time, such as with the comic book character Tony Stark, who invents his Iron Man armor in a different war depending on when the story is told. Other examples of fiction where characters do not age include The Simpsons, the Jeeves series, the Nero Wolfe novels,McAleer, John, Rex Stout: A Biography (1977, Little, Brown and Company; ), p. 383; and McAleer, John, Royal Decree (1983, Pontes Press, Ashton, Maryland), p. 49.
