This is the funniest one for me. It's always hilarious when Bertie and Jeeves disagree, and Wooster trying to solve problems without the mighty brains of Jeeves 😂😂😂 Nick Martin is the best.😂
The best of both: a great writer realized by a great voice actor. Your interpretations are priceless and I seriously think Wodehouse would heartily agree.
Thank you so much for these absolute gems from the incomparable (in my opinion), PGW. He should be required reading from schooldays onwards. The World would be a nicer, more tolerant place to live.
"Honoria, you see, is one of those robust, dynamic girls with the muscles of a welterweight and a laugh like a squadron of cavalry charging over a tin bridge." 😂
Thank you very much! This is such a enjoyable story. It is always surprising to find out about Jeeves’ personal life. Also, I love the thumbnail - excellent job all round!
I’m loving all these Wodehouse stories Nick, listening to them over and over again while I’m cooking or painting etc. Such a joy, thank you. Can I suggest Diary of a Nobody or Three Men in a Boat? You’d do a marvellous job on those.
@@Trickynickymarts how about a chapter at a time? Have a look at Jennifer Ehle reading Pride and Prejudice a chapter at a time, mostly from her car. It was a sheer delight for me during lockdown.
We have lost such a treasure with the English language as it used to be. Who among us could express ourselves with such eloquence these days? Beautifully read.
I also love every clever word, and the way they are put together... well I would just love PG Wodehouse. We should have a Wodehouse group. Anyone else want this group of P. G. Wodehouse?
I'm a dedicated Jonathan Cecil fan , but I am pleasantly surprised by this narrator. Haven't listened to any Hugh Fraser doing Bertie, but I love him in all the Hercule Poirot series so look forward to hearing him narrating one.
Thanks very much for these! With the possible exception of listening to a Mozart piano sonata, I can't imagine anything better than a well done PGW audio book while basking in the sunshine on a sunny summer afternoon with a glass of something cool at your side.
Thank you. Yes, its been a while since the last one. My laptop broke and I had to get a new one and that never seems so straightforward, plus other things all taking time. Cheers
@@Trickynickymarts oh my , i remember what happened!. Listening to Agatha Christy VERY late at night, I fell asleep with device in hand. To my Supreme embarrassment, I discovered that my PHONE decided to comment❗❗ . i suppose when there was contact between the screen And my blanket, a text or 2 to YOU was produced, and that is just creepy. Sorry about this, my friend! What a World⁉

Bertie and Jeeves are classics. The former, despite an education in which he was only marginally involved, wealth and social standing can't do much for himself. He can't think for himself or do the right thing because if the class structure. Jeeves, on the other hand, is well read, wise and thinks rationally. Today's royals, the nobility and trust babies are entitled by birth and rarely have to earn it. An exact 1" of toothpaste on Charles toothbrush indeed! Does his man do the actual brushing for him as well? Apologies to Brits who love their royals but shouldn't most of the land and wealth of the royal family be used for tge public?
There is a Wodehouse book of three schoolboy stories one of which is The Silver Bat. If the book has been recorded can you post it? Now there is a challenge👍😳
Brilliant narration✊♥️👍sorry but PG Wodehouse just doesn’t sound right in an American accent! Course ♥️American literature read in appropriate accent✊♥️

How kind - thank you.
At first I listened for the story and now I enjoy them for the exquisite languaging and the excellent narration. Many thanks from NZ.
Listening to you read these wonderful stories really helps the time fly, thank you Mr. Martin. Take care.
You are going to be coming to the end at this rate! I had better put another one up very soon.
@@Trickynickymarts Hooray! I am very much looking forward to your future readings!
"Biffy made a sort of curious gulping noise not unlike a bulldog trying to swallow half a cutlet in a hurry so as to be ready for the other half." 😆
Your reads arrive like the rains after a withering drought. Gratitudes to our Trickynicky!
Ha! Many thanks - may the grass be lush.
Really enjoyable listening to these old stories of PG Woodhouse. They bring back many memories of my earlier years! Thank you.
Thank you so much for these absolute gems from the incomparable (in my opinion), PGW. He should be required reading from schooldays onwards. The World would be a nicer, more tolerant place to live.
Thanks Paul - agreed! I will record more soon so stay tuned!
"Honoria, you see, is one of those robust, dynamic girls with the muscles of a welterweight and a laugh like a squadron of cavalry charging over a tin bridge." 😂
You have a knack of spotting some top lines!
@@Trickynickymarts Why, thank you.
😁
What a treasure you are , this will be the best hour of my day , without a doubt 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Christine!
I think p.g. Wodehouse is my favorite author. The reader was fantastic.
Hilarious, such a fun story, and a little more background on Jeeves is revealed! Thank you for another masterful narration, sir!
"as vague and wooly-headed a blighter as ever bit a sandwich." 😆
Ha! Yes, not your every day 'Bio'!
@@Trickynickymarts Sums it all up and no need for more. :)
I always enjoy your reading. By far the best I’ve listened to. I hope you continue to post new Wodehouse short stories! Thank you!
Thank you for that and much appreciated. I do intend to and have two lined up but they keep getting away from me!
I never heard a more perfect , splendid reading! Thank you mr. Nick Martin! 👏🏻
How nice! Thank you, and so pleased you enjoy them.
I concur dear boy.
Nick Martin is Berkie and Jeeves 😂
Thank you very much! This is such a enjoyable story. It is always surprising to find out about Jeeves’ personal life. Also, I love the thumbnail - excellent job all round!
Cheers! Lots more on here for you - and more pics too!
I’m loving all these Wodehouse stories Nick, listening to them over and over again while I’m cooking or painting etc. Such a joy, thank you. Can I suggest Diary of a Nobody or Three Men in a Boat? You’d do a marvellous job on those.
That's great! Both good suggestions sticking with short stories. Thanks

Ah, but she is such a talented actor and does it with great ease straight to camera. Its different for a non pro - believe me!
We have lost such a treasure with the English language as it used to be. Who among us could express ourselves with such eloquence these days? Beautifully read.
All most enjoyable - thanks for uploading.
Thank you.
A breath of sanity for those of us in the US - it has been and still is hell here. Thanks! Wish Britain would take us back
Thanks, all will be fine soon I'm sure. I think there may be some opposition there to your suggestion but an interesting idea! Cheers
Hope you're hanging in there MY OB. All in this together, what.
Dear Saint Exupery (any relation?), I hope things are looking up over there. Poor you guys you have been through hell in 2020....
It would be lovely to be in a country where I could vote “Labour,” as pathetic as they have become…..
Brilliantly done. My thanks 👍
Omg, i loved every word, every expression and of course the way and voice used.....
Great! Thank you
I also love every clever word, and the way they are put together... well I would just love PG Wodehouse. We should have a Wodehouse group. Anyone else want this group of P. G. Wodehouse?
I didn't think anyone could improve on Hugh Fraser or Jonathan Cecil... colour me pleasantly surprised!!!
Nicky Martin is exceptional Perfect, in fact.

Excellent - all thats needed now is a good supply of sunny afternoons! Cheers
🎉wonderfully wonderful
Ahh yes jolly good show! Tysm Nicky! you have been missed
Thank you. Yes, its been a while since the last one. My laptop broke and I had to get a new one and that never seems so straightforward, plus other things all taking time. Cheers
one can't always listen to Cecil, Mr Nick is a wonderful & sprightly reader
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Thank you! Brilliant narration, as always. 👏👏👏
Thank you. You are a treasure.
I simply adore all the nicknames Berty gives his friends. So classically English public school. Brilliant writer.
One of the rummy things about Jeeves is that, unless you watch like a hawk, you very seldom see him come into a room.
Thank you
Loved it; Thank-You!!
Well done. You did a good job on this one.

Glad to find you. First rate stuff.
Lovely - dig in!
What a voice! :D
Well it was all included with the fixtures and fittings. Cheers!
Love the uploads! One note for future recordings: the H is silent in "Honoria". Thanks!
Of course, after all those years of Latin at school I should have known - so as in honour
Thank you 'olly.
More enjoyable to play back at 1.25 speed.
Is this being read for Language students?
Ha! Fair point.
No it's not but maybe I should be one!

Ah yes, that was an error on my part. Sorry.
