My Man Jeeves

20Oct11

Look, this is delightful silly stuff. Instead of words, here are two examples:

No context needed:
“What ho!” I said.
“What ho!” said Motty.
“What ho! What ho!”
“What ho! What ho! What ho!”
After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation.

Bertie has been woken by a friend with an urgent letter:
“What is it?” I said. “What on earth’s the matter?”
“Read it!”
“I can’t. I haven’t had my tea.”
“Well, listen then.”
“Who’s it from?”
“My aunt.”
At this point I fell asleep again.

Verdict: read at least one Jeeves and Wooster books, unless you hate fun.
