Vigyázat! Cselekményleírást tartalmaz.

This is a „Jeeves and Wooster” novel. Bertie Wooster looks pretty stylish in his new Tyrolean hat – or so he thinks: others, notably Jeeves, disagree. But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control and he's going to need all the help Jeeves can provide. There are good eggs present, such as Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Rev. 'Stinker' Pinker. But there also is Sir Watkyn Bassett J.P., enemy of all the Woosters hold dear, to say nothing of his daughter Madeline and Roderick Spode, now raised to the peerage. And Major Brabazon Plank, the peppery explorer, who wants to lay Bertie out cold. Thank goodness for the intervention of Chief Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard – but is this gentleman all he seems?

P. G. Wodehouse: Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves

Azt hiszem, ha bármit választhatnék, legszívesebben egy Wodehouse-regényben lennék szereplő: koktélozgatnék Bertie-vel, golfoznék, szemügyre venném a helyi segédlelkészeket, Jeeves pedig megoldaná minden gondomat, ami csak felmerülhet… az lenne ám az élet.

Egyébként ebből a kötetből készült az egyik kedvenc epizódom a tévésorozatból, mégpedig a hideg húsospite és a szerelem erejének összecsapása – lehet fogadni, hogy melyik kerül ki győztesen a Gussie lelkében dúló párviadalból. ;-)

I marmaladed a slice of toast with something of a flourish, and I don't suppose I have ever come much closer to saying 'Tra-la-la' as I did the lathering, for I was feeling in mid-season form this morning. God, as I once heard Jeeves put it, was in His Heaven and all was right with the world. (He added, I remember, some guff about larks and snails, but that is a side issue and need not detain us.)

My Aunt Agatha, the one who eats broken bottles and turns into a werewolf at the time of the full moon, generally refers to Jeeves as my keeper.

I don't know why it is, but there's something about being hauled off to a police bin that makes you feel a bit silly. At least, that's how it always affects me.
