=== Other works by P. G. Wodehouse provide examples of: ===
* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: Many a wrong man and woman has proven fickle in absence, thus conveniently breaking up the engagement.
* [[After -Action Patchup]]: Offered in ''Summer Moonshine''.
* [[Arcadia]]: Bill's dream, and Elizabeth's, in ''Uneasy Money''.
* [[Author Catchphrase]]: Many noticeable ones.
Line 130:
* [[Second Love]]: In ''Jill The Reckless''.
* [[Secretly Wealthy]]: "The Man Upstairs".
* [[Shout -Out]]: In his short story "Honeysuckle Cottage", Wodehouse called his [[The Ingenue|soupy heroine]] "Rose Maynard" as a tribute to [[Gilbert and Sullivan|W.S. Gilbert]], whose plots he freely admitted to admiring more than [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s.
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Many, and many inversions, though the goodness is often nothing more than being reasonably brave, truthful, kind, and sporty.
* [[Smoky GentlemensGentlemen's Club]]: The Drones is one of the archetypical examples.
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: A staple of Wodehouse's writing.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: In the Mr. Mulliner story ''Those in Peril on the Tee''.
