I havent laughed so much in ages - you capture the spirit of Bertie Worcester so well Im sue good old P.G himself wouldnt have chosen anyone else for the task.
Dear Nick, you are most definitely my favourite PGWodehouse narrator! I really appreciate that you deliver with wit and so calmly. I now find other narrators too nervy in comparison…so, … if you’re bored … 😉 Anyway, thank you for offering these 😊
Many thanks Nick, we really love and appreciate your reading of these great stories, you always read so well, they help us so much :) God bless you 🙏🕊️🪽👍📖🙂👼all on here:)
This is bad, I'm now walking around using the words, Bally, Dash, Goodgad. My husband hasn't got a clue when I use them in a sentence. I love these audiobooks. Thanks so much. If I was young enough to have a child, I'd probably call him Bertie Jeeves.
PG Wodehause read by Nick Martin: what a delish! Never a better Jeeves , never a better Wilberforce(!), and all the others! Still the Tv series also a pure masterpiece!
Another fantastic reading, Mr. Martin! "The poor kid who's quite off her oats about him..." What a line, that one's a keeper! Hope you are having a great day!
I remember watching the Jeeves & Wooster episode “Tuppy & The Terrier,” my favorite part of the episode was the part inspired by this story, including the entertainment at the East End.
There's an image in the thumbnail that echoes the thumbnail itself; notice that the magazine's right page features a figure in a bath tub reading a magazine. I had not noticed this before, and I must have listened to this story a few times before. Nifty, eh? Something not unlike The Droste Effect.
Well observed. And now a little secret - I took the picture from a1920's Pears soap advert. I thought it was very fitting to the story and to the time.
@@Trickynickymarts Yes, meaning calculating, not vicious. The way he executes his plans is always with knife-edge precision. Brutal in that he takes no prisoners at the end of the day, cuz he accomplished exactly what he sets out to do.
After I first read this story, many years ago, I put my Sonny Boy sheet music in a secret place and stopped playing/singing it with my piano and ukulele - unless I had ensured that all doors and windows were secured and curtains drawn, at home.
Oh dear you took Wodehouse seriously? It would be such a treat to hear you sing it now. I hope you haven't forgotten. Ah. Or maybe you're writing like Wodehouse yourself and I am being too earnest. :)
@@christabedwin . Yes , I was trying to be amusing. However, your response sent me to my pile of music books and found Sonny Boy , in a collection of Al Jolson songs. Sonny Boy was written , in 1928. I sat at my piano for about half an hour after that. Ideal for my shielding, indoors, in England .
You are an unquestionable master in reading Wodehouse stories. I feel irritated seeing other people doing it when obviously P.G.Wodehouse belongs to you!
No-one has asked him to read these, it’s just his hobby. Okay, there’s the very occasional howler, but on balance I think he does a pretty good job. If you think you could do better, go ahead and upload.
Yeah, there is the odd word mispronounced but the expression is the best on the internet that I can find. And the others are not without their odd blue either. I think these readings are an amazing gift
The character who says "trousseau", Tuppy, is 'a bit of an ass', and mispronunciation of French could be in character. "Hauteur" with the "h" pronounced would not have been out of place in upper class English.
At about 3:00 Tuppy says , “ Before ordering the trousseau..” which the daft voiceover pronounced as if it were Trow zoh. Could someone inform him of the correct pronunciation and meaning of this very well known (though not to him) French word?
What is wrong with this voiceover? He talks about the local toughs in the East End of Zlondon with their cocoa and clean entertainment in the “ Old Fellows’ Hall”. No, damn it. Odd Fellows’ Hall. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. Ask for help. But don’t bugger up the text!
The reading by Nick Martin really conjours up the scene, the expressions and the people simply by his voice. A marvel.
"Nobody could have denied that her pipes were in great shape. Plaster was still falling from the ceiling" !!lol
this was a brilliant reading and perhaps the most genius humor in the English world.
It's a real pleasure to listen to your audiobooks! What a talent you got❤️
I havent laughed so much in ages - you capture the spirit of Bertie Worcester so well Im sue good old P.G himself wouldnt have chosen anyone else for the task.
Just brilliant. The story and the reading! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent!!
Enjoying these immensely!

Good egg!

Excellent, very much( enjoyed the reading. Thank you

You have made my day. I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. Thank you. Genius writing and genius performance.
Better than the tv series. Thanks very much.
My thought exactly. Even better than TV-series!
Hear! Hear!
Fantastic, please read more stories, your voice is a delight. Grazie!
I'll try! thank you
PG Wodehause read by Nick Martin: what a delish!
Never a better Jeeves , never a better Wilberforce(!), and all the others!
Still the Tv series also a pure masterpiece!
Many of the covers, including this one, are such well-drawn and composed illustrations. They're a pleasure to look at and appreciate
Another fantastic reading, Mr. Martin! "The poor kid who's quite off her oats about him..." What a line, that one's a keeper! Hope you are having a great day!
Thank you. Ha! Yes, she's a colourful old fish for sure.
Fun nostalgic story beautifully read by Nick Martin.
I remember watching the Jeeves & Wooster episode “Tuppy & The Terrier,” my favorite part of the episode was the part inspired by this story, including the entertainment at the East End.
Listened to this one before and it's still a great story. Thanks.
“What beats me, is how on earth you expect to make her think you’ve got a mind at all! Let alone a serious one.” 😂 utter savagery

@@Trickynickymarts Excellent choice. It's nice that you can get creative with choosing thumbnail graphics and fonts.
This was hilarious, Nick! Just what the doctor ordered for an all-day curfew in Trinidad and Tobago.
Thanks Nigel. Hope normality resumes very soon.
@@Trickynickymarts If you keep these stories coming, I'll want nothing to change 😉
Utter delight.. Ageless. Clean, and beautifully read.... 🤗🍾🥂
Yes, quite ageless in language and spirit despite valets being a bit thin on the ground these days! Thanks
Oh bally good, what!
A magnificent reading of such a funny story. Thank you. 😅

Lol, that was awesome! Jeeves is brutal 😂
Brutal? Ha!
@@Trickynickymarts Yes, meaning calculating, not vicious. The way he executes his plans is always with knife-edge precision. Brutal in that he takes no prisoners at the end of the day, cuz he accomplished exactly what he sets out to do.
Ah, yes quite so.
Great! Lots of thanks.
... the Natures & Dispositions of the Principals in the Matter ...
Ah yes - what they are like!

Now surely that would be quite a performance, if you could play both at the same time!
Wonderful
You are an unquestionable master in reading Wodehouse stories. I feel irritated seeing other people doing it when obviously P.G.Wodehouse belongs to you!
"does he talk like this to you in private" 🤣
I know. Made me laugh too.
Hilarious!
Cheers Geoff
Have you known Bill from Wales?
He visited Moscow many years ago and worked in hospital.
No, I don't think I know Bill
How can you ask someone to read Wodehouse who can't even pronounce "trousseau" and "hauteur"? I haven't got very far yet, but it's not promising.
Strongly disagree. I was listening ( trying :) a few "Wodehouse"s, this is the best audio record about Jeeves and Wooster. In English :)
No-one has asked him to read these, it’s just his hobby. Okay, there’s the very occasional howler, but on balance I think he does a pretty good job. If you think you could do better, go ahead and upload.

The character who says "trousseau", Tuppy, is 'a bit of an ass', and mispronunciation of French could be in character.
"Hauteur" with the "h" pronounced would not have been out of place in upper class English.
The upper English say Bally, for goodness sake. I say ballet 🩰
At about 3:00 Tuppy says , “ Before ordering the trousseau..” which the daft voiceover pronounced as if it were Trow zoh. Could someone inform him of the correct pronunciation and meaning of this very well known (though not to him) French word?
What is wrong with this voiceover? He talks about the local toughs in the East End of Zlondon with their cocoa and clean entertainment in the “ Old Fellows’ Hall”. No, damn it. Odd Fellows’ Hall. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. Ask for help. But don’t bugger up the text!
