Aunts aren't Gentlemen
4 journalers for this copy...
PG Wodehouse is a must when I need to destress and have a really good laugh. Jeeves is a hero, Bertie's a lovable fool and it's all too witty for words.
Blurb from the cover:
The curious case of the Maiden Eggesford Horror
When the doctor advises Bertie to live the quiet life, he and Jeeves head for the pure air and peace of Maiden Eggesford. However, they hadn't reckoned on Bertie's irrepressible but decidedly scheming Aunt Dahlia around whom an imbroglio of impressive proportions develops involving The Cat Which Kept Popping Up When Least Expected. As Bertie observes, whatever aunts are, they are not gentlemen.

Arrived today - thanks.
I'm looking forward to reading about the devious ways of Aunts!

It was my membership of the Drones Club that now formed the basis of her observations. She didn't like the Drones Club, and made it quite clear that at the conclusion of the honeymoon I would cross its threshold only over her dead body.
So, reckoning up the final score, the Bertram Wooster who signed the charge sheet in the vestry after the wedding ceremony would be a non-smoker, a teetotaller (for I knew it would come to that) and an ex-member of the Drones, in other words a mere shadow of his former self.
All the usual themes are present and correct: unreasonable aunts, kidnapped animals (a cat this time), a jealous lover threatening violence to any man who has ever so much as spoken to the woman he loves, and Bertie Wooster trying to disentangle himself from yet another unwanted engagement.

Picked up at the Nottingham Bookcrossing Meet, but unfortunately subsumed into the piles of books here before being journalled! Sorry about that!

More chortlesome adventures of Bertie Wooster - who I adore. He's not as silly as people think he is - it's only in comparison to the incomparable Jeeves that he comes across as "not Q the full S" ...
If you don't find Wodehouse amusing ... sorry, but there's no hope for you :o)
Will pass to my non BC partner to read, before finding somewhere to release it.
