I hesitate to speak as an expert, but I'm fairly sure that Psmith was created
long before Monty Bodkin.  I vaguely recall that Psmith in the City was written
in 1913, and that the whole environment of Monty Bodkin in "Pearls, Girls, and
Monty Bodkin", took several novels to create.   As I recall, in this book, 
Bodkin finally decided that he didn't want to marry Gertrude and went off with
someone else.   Before that he had worked at Blandings Castle as one of
Rupert Baxter's many successors, where he was suspected by both Lord Emsworth
and Gally Threepwood of having nefarious designs on the Empress of Blandings.
I'm absolutely certain that this whole affair was being written after 1920, and
I suspect that most of it was written after 1945.  So no, I don't think that it
is likely that Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin inspired the character of Psmith.

I am a Psmith fan; I try to make sure I reread both _Leave It to Psmith_ and
_Psmith Journalist_ at least once per year... I think it's time. Psmith was
mentioned in passing in an 8th-grade English book, and it took me a dog's
years to find it in print. Highly, highly recommended. LItP is a darn good
mystery, too, by the way.

My favourite quote is one in a Jeeves and Wooster story, when even Jeeves is
temporaily flummoxed with the problem.   Bertie turns round to  Jeeves and says

"They say fish is good for the brain.   Go away and eat some fish and then come
back and report."

Unfortunately, my mental pictures of Bertie and Jeeves received a rude shock
when I chanced upon the first episode (which was an adaptation of "Mating
Season, if I'm not mistaken). I felt Steven Fry as Jeeves was too expressive and
(*horror*) not only smiled (instead of merely twitching his lip) but
unabashedly raised his eyebrows far beyond the regulatory one-eighth of an
inch.)

By the second episode, however, I'd made the necessary mental adjustments to
sit back and accept the characters as portrayed and stop complaining.

Still here're my grades.  

Bertie = B+
Jeeves = A-
Madeline Basset = A-
Bingo Little = B
Gussie Finknottle = A-

(I think I'm being very generous here.)

Harold "Stinker" Pinker, Stephanie Byng, Aunt Dahlia get passing grades.

Hyuk, hyuk.  I'm a banjo player and you see what we have to put up
with...

A banjolele is a little tiny banjo; they were used in the late 19th c.
during the banjo craze (another thing that dates a lot of the cultural
stuff in the Bertie & Jeeves stories as a couple of decades before the
actual setting of the stories, reflecting Wodehouse's childhood
memories according to Usborne), when there were consorts of banjoists
playing in groups, with instruments of all sizes and ranges.

I'm afraid the story, though widely known, is utter myth. The trouble is
that it has been repeated so often that it is now taken as gospel to the
extent of being quoted in Debretts/Burkes (cant remember which)

Anyway, there is only one ancient family of Featherstonehaughs in GB who
live in.... perhaps I shouldn't say! (Their rather grand house is open
to the public, however) and they have been perfectly happy to call
themselves Featherstonehaugh (as spelt) for many centuries...

This is rather like the conviction that Althorp is pronounced Altrop,
although I gather this was indeed the habit c.1900. Now it is simply
gauche. But they're nice stories.

Yes and no. Yes, because there are some plots which PGW milked for more
miles than Honest Abe would have. (Read Richard Usborne's Wodehouse at
Work for some examples. Incidentally, some of Usborne's comments are sheer
overkill, IMO.)

Psmith, however, was inspired by a living character possessing flesh and
blood whose name has temporarily escaped my memory.

i was a bit disappointed in the current incarnations of `the basset', 
aunt dahlia, and gussie (or his current affectations and lithp).  the
actors and character portrayals in the first 5 jeeves and wooster episodes
on m.theatre (1991?) were somehow more appealing.  i also had pictured 
lord `spodecup' as a much younger than he was cast.

the earlier m.theatre episodes are available on pbs home video. 
i've rented them and they're titled "jeeves & wooster: <episode name>"

The following gems were both uttered by the same character in the same
story: name the character and the story:

(a)	So you put the whole binge up to Jeeves and see if he can't
	scare up a happy ending somehow.  Tell him my future is in his

WOW-- a newsgroup for wodehousiana... About time too..

Re: Wodehousian charm, I agree that there is a lot of repetition and
an absolute lack of suspense in his stories. However, his wonderful
language and his quirky characterizations so enamour us that we are
ready to suspend our disbelief to the extent that we even believe that
there *is* a suspense!

Talking about his language, here are two gems (quoting from memory)
that always crack me up when I think of them...

 "He looked considerably more like an oyster than most oysters do"
    (raises the meta-question of what defines oysterishness, doesn't it...)

 "He died due to a tragic misunderstanding. He thought that the tiger was
  dead. The tiger thought it wasn't."
    (explaining the death of a Cpt. Bigger's beau's hunter-husband in "Ring
     for Jeeves")

By the way, contrary to public belief, Wodehouse apparently did a lot
of RESEARCH about his books. I remember reading his last unfinished
novel (Sunrise(shine?) at Blandings), where at the end of the novel
they had included PGW's notes/research about the plot development.

Another interesing (if somewhat problematic thing for a fan) is that
many PGW books appear in different titles in England/India (where
Penguins published them) and in USA.. I remember getting books with
completely new titles only to find that I read them under a different
title before-- there is an Ickenham story of this type, so is I think
Ring for Jeeves).

I myself started wodehouse with a very non-standard book--not a Jeeves
one, not a Psmith one, and not even a Blandings castle one -- but one
called "Luck of Bodkins" (does anyone else remember this?). The story
takes place on a ship from England to USA and is about Monty Bodkin,
and his on-again off-again relationship with Gertrude Butterworth
(??). It includes Igor Llevllyn of Superba-Llevllyn motionpicture
corp, his cantankerous wife, as well as the wonderful curmudgeon ship
steward Albert Peasemarch (who, as far as I can tell, never makes an
appearance in any other wodehouse book).

Finally, I agree with those that think that Blandings Castle
stories/novels are the very best of Wodehouse... Jeeves stuff comes a
decided second in his fare, IMHO.
