Jeeves, a very competent valet, and his hapless employer Bertie Wooster, were characters in dozens of short stories by Wodehouse. The stories are from the point of view of Bertie. Last episode, with Jeeve’s help, Bertie devised a plan to discourage his Uncle George from marrying a much younger woman. They would scare him off with her aunt, a large, loud, and very much outgoing person. Bertie’s Aunt Agatha didn’t like the plan – they are going ahead anyway, in secret.This is the penultimate story in this collection, so if you have any suggestions for the next olden days book, let me know.Remember that you can manage here which sections of my SubStack you’ll receive emails for—Fiction, Odds and Ends, Podcastings, Sort of a Journal, or all. Previous episodeIndex to podcasts This is a public episode.
