Commentary Supposing Books Joy in the Morning (Jeeves #8)
Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees, for among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged; her new fiance "Stilton" Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass; and that biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence. All of Bertie's forebodings are fully justified, for in his efforts to oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love, and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes the prey of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him.Rating Appertaining To Books Joy in the Morning (Jeeves #8)

Joy in the Morning (1948) zips from one comedic setpiece to another. Whilst none resulted in hearty guffaws and unbridled mirth, there were more than enough smiles and chuckles. I thoroughly enjoyed The Steeple Bumpleigh HorrorMarvellous characters including Uncle Percy, Nobby Hopwood, Stilton Cheesewright, Florence Craye, aligned to the usual wonderful writing and amusing misunderstandings, made for another PG masterclass. How does he make this stuff seem so effortless?And, we get a blazingAfter recently reading Schotts tribute Jeeves and the King of Clubs, I plunged back into the real article and, once again, find PGW an absolute pleasure...
The more Jeeves and Wooster that I read, the more I realize that most of the plots are quite similar.Or at least, they share the same similar formula.But that's not a bad thing. It's like the old adage says: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.So in this one, Bertie once again goes somewhere he doesn't want to go -this time because Jeeves wants to fish. Then he gets terrorized by relatives, friends, crazy women, and small children. Lots of nutty things happened and I laughed quite a bit.Yeah, it's
This is a PG Wodehouse classic with absolutely crazy sub-plots and whacky dialogue! It is Bertie Wooster again with his enterprising butler Jeeves.Bertie was once engaged to Florence Craye and she finds him at a bookshop holding her book. This causes her to be overjoyed and see Bertie in a good light again. Lord Percy looks to Jeeves for advise to conduct a business meeting in discretion. Jeeves proposes Bertie rent a cottage Wee Nook which is in close proximity to Bumleigh Hall where Florence
The other day, as I was walking along the beach in the frightfully early morning - when both man and beast ought quite to be tucking the old blankets under the pointy end of the old bean - there was a rather fit young lady putting quite some stride into her step not a few yards ahead of me.Unfortunately, I had just gotten up to the part of the story at which Bertie is discoursing with Boko concerning the nature of women and to what extent one can rely on what they say when they are cross with
Oh, the excellently perilous Steeple Bumpleigh & its merry cast of dreadful characteres. Young Nobby! The treacherous Florence! Boko Fittleworth! Stilton, going around "Ho!"ing all over the place! Dear Worplesdon! Edwin the Boy Scout! And last but not least, the illustrious J. Chichester Clam, drinking quarts of coffee & getting nasty shocks from the New Deal. "I mentioned that there was an expression on the tip of my toungue which seemed to me to sum up the nub of the recent
