P. G. Wodehouse: Difference between revisions

* [[Take That]]: After Wodehouse had been denounced by the orders of the Minister of Information, Alfred Duff Cooper, he was lambasted in the newspapers by his fellow-author, [[A. A. Milne|AA Milne]]. In ''The Mating Season'', written while Wodehouse was being held by the Germans, Gussie Fink-Nottle on being arrested gives his name as "Duff Cooper"; in the same novel, Bertie Wooster is sickened by the prospect of reading Milne's "Christopher Robin" poems publicly. Wodehouse returned to the attack in "Rodney Has A Relapse", in which reformed ''vers libre'' poet Rodney Spelvin writes [[Tastes Like Diabetes|smarmy]] poems about his toddler son, "Timothy Bobbin".

* [[A Tragedy of Impulsiveness]]: [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] and ultimately [[Averted Trope|averted]] in ''Jill the Reckless''. Jill's impulsiveness is frowned upon by quite a few characters and even causes her fiancé to break off the engagement. {{spoiler|However, it turns out that the fiancé wasn't such a great guy anyway, and Jill's [[Second Love]] understands that her recklessness is one of her finest qualities}}.

* [[Unexpected Inheritance]]: ''Uneasy Money''.

* [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]]: "A Sea of Troubles''.
