These tearooms provided the first public places where women could eat, alone or with women friends. And the loaves of bread we see were the first to introduce carbon dioxide gas instead of fermentation claiming perfect cleanliness & automation.

Rosie M. Banks is a combination of two popular female novelists of the time, Ethel M. Dell and Ruby M. Ayres.first name Rosie=ruby. Last name dell=banks (dells, or valleys, and river banks are both features of the countryside). And of course, there is the co-incidence of them both having the middle initial “M”. Bingo later marries this authouress. Bertie feels it is his duty to read one of her books, to see what is going on. He gives the reader a summary of the romantic plot, and comments: [quote from memory] “I was appalled. Of course, I had always known in a general way that Mrs. Bingo wrote the world’s worst tripe, but I had not thought even she capable of producing such stupendous bilge as this.”

You lucky, lucky people. Here, as told to Bertie by a female fan, is the story of MERVYN KEENE, CLUBMAN -By Rosie M. Banks “He was young and rich and handsome, an officer in the Coldstream Guards and the idol of all who knew him. Everybody envied him.” “I don’t wonder, the lucky stiff.” “But he was not really to be envied. There was a tragedy in his life. He loved Cynthia Grey, the most beautiful girl in London, but just as he was about to speak his love, he found that she was engaged to Sir Hector Mauleverer, the explorer.” “Dangerous devils, these explorers. You want to watch them like hawks. In these circs, of course, he would have refrained from speaking his love? Kept it under his hat, I suppose, what? ” “Yes, he spoke no word of love. But he went on worshipping her, outwardly gay and cheerful, inwardly gnawed by a ceaseless pain. And then one night her brother Lionel, a wild young man who had unfortunately got into bad company, came to his rooms and told him that he had committed a very serious crime and was going to be arrested, and he asked Mervyn to save him by taking the blame himself. And, of course, Mervyn said he would.” “The silly ass! Why?” “For Cynthia’s sake. To save her brother from imprisonment and shame.” “But it meant going to chokey himself. I suppose he overlooked that?” “No. Mervyn fully realized what must happen. But he confessed to the crime and went to prison. When he came out, grey and broken, he found that Cynthia had married Sir Hector, and he went out to the South Sea Islands and became a beachcomber. And time passed. And then one day Cynthia and her husband arrived at the island on their travels and stayed at Government House, and Mervyn saw her drive by, and she was just as beautiful as ever, and their eyes met, but she didn’t recognize him, because of course he had a beard and his face was changed because he had been living the pace that kills, trying to forget.” I remembered a good one I had read somewhere about the pace that kills nowadays being the slow, casual walk across a busy street, but I felt that this was not the moment to spring it. “He found out that she was leaving next morning, and he had nothing to remember her by, so he broke into Government House in the night and took from her dressing-table the rose she had been wearing in her hair. And Cynthia found him taking it, and, of course, she was very upset when she recognized him. “ Oh, she recognized him this time? He’d shaved, had he?’’ “ No, he still wore his beard, but she knew him when he spoke her name, and there was a very powerful scene in which he told her how he had always loved her and had come to steal her rose, and she told him that her brother had died and confessed on his death-bed that it was he who had been guilty of the crime for which Mervyn had gone to prison. And then Sir Hector came in.” “Good situation. Strong.” “And, of course, he thought Mervyn was a burglar, and he shot him, and Mervyn died with the rose in has hand. And, of course, the sound of the shot roused the house, and the Governor came running in and said: ‘Is anything missing?’ And Cynthia in a low, almost inaudible voice said : ‘Only a rose,’ That is the story of Mervyn Keene, Clubman.”

Bertie’s actual review. “I had always known in a sort of vague, general way that Mrs Bingo wrote the world’s worst tripe - Bingo generally changes the subject nervously if anyone mentions the little woman’s output - but I had never supposed her capable of bilge like this,”

I LOVE Jeeves & Wooster! But I was just thinking....I couldn't imagine being in this situation, as Wooster. Imagine 2 human beings, one serves the other hand and foot every day. At even the simplest things, like tying a tie, or turning down a bed, or whatever. I could maybe, as a Wooster, enjoy such pampering for the duration of a paid holiday, yes, but constantly? All my life? I'd feel so embarrassed in front of a Jeeves eventually! Ok, for Jeeves, he gets to have a paid job.....oh well, I guess these days people have maids; I guess it's the same thing. Ok. I just love these stories, and binge-watch/binge-listen to them daily!!! :'D So funny and charming and silly! What fun!

Well, it might have seemed more a matter of course at the time. Here it's a little different, it looks like Jeeves isn't just a convenience, Bertie can probably put on a tie for example. I think Jeeves is really keeping him alive! He's got enough money and time to drink himself to death, and no common sense in general. Jeeves would like B to be more of a dignified gentleman, but constantly has to struggle to keep him out of trouble! Of course we (mostly) have more democratic ideas in general now.... I can't really identify with anyone in these stories but they are so much fun to read!

@AndrewMOJObook
2 жыл бұрын
It is my distinct impression that the dislikes come from the under educated and low information class that results from the general malaise infecting our media driven world. Doubtless it either went over their heads, or they have no discernable sense of humour. Yes. Humour. With a "U" ! They don't want any entertainment that requires them to think too hard. They would probably also give thumbs down to Yes, Minister, and Yes, Prime Minister. You don't need any O Levels to appreciate either Shakespeare or Blackadder, but obviously one must be willing to understand what one is watching from a contextual perspective. In order to appreciate the nuances, historical references, and even vocabulary and syntactic reality of what education used to be requires a modicum of perspective. Students used to be required to learn truth, where now they're bombarded with the mythos that Truth is subjective and personal. Of course that was before socialist ideology infiltration succeeded in reducing schools to leftist indoctrination centers. My surmise therefore is that the dislikes are merely a dismal reflection of the deterioration of society as a whole. Cheerio.

+ali nobari in 1971 Richard Briers and Michael... um.. can't rem his name but a great shakespearean actor, played Wooster and Jeeves for BBC radio. i found the whole collection in a technical library. Briers' played Wooster incredibly well and i never thought they would be matched until i saw these. thebeauty of these versions is Fry and Laurie play their parts so well. laurie is perfect as the gormless Wooster and though Fry is nowhere near old enough to play the original Jeeves from the books, he carries the part so well that you simply don't notice.

I agree. It takes getting used to some, Fry's relative youth, but he has the part down in all its particulars and you come to see any objections on that score as almost a quibble. Laurie is perfect, though.

The TV show was very clever because in the books I was a great deal of thought dialogue from Bertie, he wasn't quite so air headed in the books he always was in a very jolly mood and used to come up with schemes. Jeeves was important in the books but We're slightly more of a background character but brilliant when he was in the books. The interplay between the two in the TV series is so wonderful because it's like you just get everything
