According to Daniel Garrison's "Who's Who in Wodehouse," Ukridge rhymes with
Duke-ridge, and the middle name Featherstonehaugh is pronounced as spelled (!)
according to Debrett's "Correct Form."

I remember Stephen Fry briefly mentioned how some of these long British names
are pronounced; for example, the "Fotheringay" in Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps is
pronounced "Fungy."  I mean to say, what, what, what? :-)

Could someone (maybe our friends in the UK) enlighten me? -- what exactly is
Debrett's?  Sherlock Holmes keeps pulling out his Debrett's "Peerage" once in a
while -- is it, as I surmise, a Who's Who of British royalty?

Did Bertie strike anyone as being more assertive, self- assured in the 2nd 
Masterpeice Theatre series recently aired? My memory may be in error, but I 
remember the 1st season Bertie as more bumbling, dim, vapid; there seemed to 
be more contrast between Jeeves and B..

We read Wodehouse in high school in my senior year English class.  In
fact, we were asked to analyze a short story of his on the final exam.
It was my first contact with his writing, and I have been a fan ever
since.

Hello, all.  I've been reading PGW for about 12 years now, and I think I'm 
scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of the reprints Penguin is coming 
out with now; they're just not as funny as the Jeeves, Mulliners and Emsworths 
that I've long since read.  So I was glad to finally have an opportunity to see
the TV series during Christmas break.  Seeing Jeeves & Bertie on TV was a 
refreshing way to laugh at them again without rereading the book (although I 
imagine I'll do that too, one of these days).  Neither Jeeves nor Bertie is 
quite how I pictured, but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed Bertie's 
portrayal, both in the horrified expressions on his face, as someone mentioned,
and in his inflection of the "what"s and "don't you know"s -- those _did_ sound
like I'd imagined them.  Jeeves I was a little disappointed in, but he came a 
lot closer to what I'd pictured than the gray haired balding man that appears 
on the cover of a 5-novel PGW megabook.  My main complaints were that (at 
least in the episode I saw) the plots are not truly PGW's, but a composite of 
two or more plots at once.  I would rather see one story done at a time, and 
this would also obviate the need for bland, sequel-like titles like "Jeeves and
Bertie II," which is what the show I saw was called.  Maybe the others aren't 
like that; I hope my family will have videotaped some of them and not lost 
track and erased them by the time I visit them again.  One final question:  I 
loved the gag in which Bertie is having is portrait painted and keeps saying 
"Sorry." Just when you're wondering why the hell he keeps doing that you hear 
the painter say, "It's allright to blink, Bertie!"  What story or book did this
come from?  Please give more details than just the title, because most of them 
have long since run together in my mind.

The poem about the sunset resembling a slice of underdone roast beef appeared 
in two novels, neither of which I can recall the title to.  One was definitely 
a Jeeves & Bertie, and I believe the character "Stilton" Cheesewright appeared 
in it.  Here, I think it was someone with a crush on M. Bassett complaining to 
Bertie about what a Philistine Cheesewright (his rival for the lady's 
affection) was, illustrating with this poem with an unnamed individual and the 
poet standing looking at the sunset.  The poet compares it to those in the 
times of Helen, etc., and the guy next to him then asks doesn't that sunset 
resemble a s. of u.r.b.  "Bitter," the author comments to Bertie.  "Oh, quite 
bitter," Bertie agrees.  Years later I read another book in which the poem was 
just alluded to, with no pejorative feeling at all attached to this carnal 
simile, just to heighten the allusive humor for those who'd read the other 
book.  The second book might not have been a J&B, since it wasn't that long ago
that I read it, and I think I exhausted the J&Bs quite a while ago.

In lemon-coloured pajamas, to boot.  Yes, that story is absolutely my
favorite as well.  I'm not quite sure why; I think it's just the
completely unpredictable way in which Emsworth finally sits up and
takes a stand, and the air of peaceful finality that descends over
Blandings once the Battleship Constance has been cowed.  It's like a
vague and dim-witted tree sloth (most of them are, I suppose) finally
telling an impolite and rather aggressive crocodile stationed
underneath its true to put a sock in it, with the crocodile too
stunned by this upset in the natural order of things to do anything
but shove quietly off.  Not a terribly realistic analogy, I'll admit,
but colorful, what?

I think the strongest selling point of the Jeeves and Bertie stories
is the dialogue.  There's something in Jeeves' understated and
tongue-in-cheek responses to Bertie's idiocies that's better than the
dialogue in most of the other stories.  There are notable exceptions,
of course, but the fact that a large part of these stories centers on
the interaction between Jeeves and Bertie suggests that there's
something special about the way they (do or don't) relate.

Yes it is a Mulliner story. The young author who moves in is a distant 
cousin called James Rodman. James inherits the cottage but there are strings
attached and from a writer of mystery tales, he turns to mushy romance themes,
all under the influence of the house and all but proposes to a girl he meets

Aunt Agatha on the stage?! Heaven forbid!

No, there are two or three different "music-hall wannabe in New York"
stories. The one you're thinking of is another of Aunt Agatha's chums
who used to be a music-hall singer who married a Duke or somebody and
moved to England, where she was comfortably off after being widowed.

Unlike Cyril Bassington-Bassington (who is not a great music-hall
talent), this lady's son (I forget the story and their names) is
pretty decent, and when the mother comes over to "rescue" the son, she
runs into her old music-hall partner and everyone settles down
happily.

Except Bertie, of course, who decides to extend his stay in New York
to avoid his Aunt Agatha.

Oh, Jeeves does a few borderline things in his time. The cop-beaning
incident does take place in one of the books. He also assists in
burglaries whenever he judges that the danger is not too great.

The foreword and preface to "A Wodehouse Bestiary" have some more interesting
details to add to this:

Wodehouse was a Pekingese-lover, and was in France with his pet Peke "Wonder"
at the outbreak of WWII.  Britain had a 6-month quarantine in effect for pets
being brought into the country, and the fact the he would have to be separated
from Wonder on his return for such a long duration caused him to delay his
departure from France until it was too late.

Being a dog-lover myself, I can understand his reluctance to act in time.
