As I re-read “Leave it to Psmith”, I’m realizing for the first time that The Efficient Baxter is basically Malvolio from “Twelfth Night”. Wodehouse has to have done that on purpose, right? He was well-educated, he would have known one of the great comedic put-upon characters of Shakespeare.
Latest addition to my library, and absolutely the finest part of it: A complete, 99-volume collection of the Everyman Wodehouse. This is the best edition of Wodehouse ever printed, and I now have all of it. Collectively it’s essentially everything he ever wrote for publication.
It looks like whoever owned them before me must have bought them for resale and never read them, because they all look mint condition. I will not be making that mistake.
I’m embarrassed to say, that while reading my Wodehouse novel I had to look up the reference made to Pierpont Morgan.
Apparently it’s John Pierpont Morgan, American rich person.
Now that I think of it, I have heard of JP Morgan, I think I owe his descendants money.
This morning , my spouse pulled out a dark blue handkerchief, entirely new to me. “Where did you get a dark blue handkerchief?” He immediately replied, “The Anti-Jeeves Society.”
Fair.

"Aunt Dahlia, this is blackmail!"
"Yes, isn't it?" she said, and beetled off.'
