Oh, do you remember all of Bingo's loves before he married Rosie M. Banks? And the horrors surrounding that story with poor Bertie?

And, in passing, Bingo's mad passion for the waitress (whose mother had had a thing years ago with Berties's uncle and ended the story marrying him)--how many people, do you think, recognized the send up of Maugham's novel?

Remember Catsmeat Potter Pirbright at the Drones Club?

Oh, better, remember the feud with Tuppy and how it started?

And Sir Roderick Glossop, the "nerve specialist" whose daughter had such a wonderful profile but insisted on giving Bertie improving books to read.

I most especially enjoyed Jeeves's comment about Nietzsche: "He is fundamentally unsound. You would not have enjoyed him." to Bertie!!!

And SPODE! Remember how he was neutralized?

All the maneuvering to keep Aunt Dahlia's chef, Antoine! BTW, do you remember in whose household we first encounter Antoine?

And Aunt Agatha!!!!!!!! Remember the pearls incident?

I remember being amazed and satisfied that the Wodehouse technique transplanted so readily to Hollywood, which is a long way from Blandings Castle. He knew that world as well, remember?

My Uncle Ray, who introduced me to Wodehouse, always favored the "Uncle Dynamite" series. Oh, do you remember The Brinksmanship of Sir Galahad Threepwood? And Leave It to Psmith?
