Very Good, Jeeves!

By P. G. Wodehouse
Favorite quote: “‘I see, sir. Most disturbing.’
‘What did you say it was?’
‘Most disturbing , sir.’
I snorted a truffle.
‘Oh?,’ I said. ‘And I suppose, if you had been in San Francisco when the earthquake started, you would just have lifted up your finger and said ”Tweet, tweet! Shush,shush! Now, now! Come, come!” The English language, they used to tell me at school, is the richest in the world, crammed full from end to end with about a million red-hot adjectives. Yet the only one you can find to describe this ghastly business is the adjective “disturbing”. It is not disturbing, Jeeves. It is. . . what’s the word I want?’”
From the publisher: “Very Good, Jeeves! is a collection of short stories starring Bertie Wooster in eleven alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman. Whether Bertie is tangled with a red-headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a cabinet minister, puncturing the wrong hot water bottle, singing ‘Sonny Boy’, or simply trying to concentrate on his golf handicap, Jeeves is always there to help-though rarely in ways which his employer expects. These brilliant plotted stories give the essence of Wodehousean comedy.”
