If you subscribe to my free Substack newsletter at ravensview.substack.com you’ll get notified of the next episode, and can leave your comments or suggestions.

Jeeves, a very competent valet, and his hapless employer Bertie Wooster, were characters in dozens of short stories by Wodehouse. The stories are from the point of view of Bertie. Last episode we left Tuppy eager to show his bravery in a sure to be violent rugby match to impress a girl. Bertie had a scheme to use a tearful telegram from Tuppy’s actual girlfriend to call him away. This is the last story in this collection, so if you have any suggestions for the next olden days book, let me know. Maybe Treasure Island, or The Wizard of Oz, or another Agatha Christie, or Nancy Drew? Choices.
