P. G. Wodehouse, The Love that Purifies. Short story audiobook read by Nick Martin

- Jeeves is away on his annual leave and Bertram is struggling to help his much loved Aunt Dahlia out of a tricky fix. First published in 1929 in the Strand Magazine and later in the Cosmopolitan. Again, a glimpse into the intriguing and delightful enterprise that my brother Richard runs tucked away in the heart of Cotswold England. I am certain that if you have a feeling for tradition and history, or a desire for individuality and quality, it will be of interest to you.
All will be revealed at the start of the reading with a few other pictures throughout. If you want a little more than a glimpse or to actually have a piece of the action, there is a slide at the end with all the details. - บันเทิง
Thank you for all your very positive comments and encouragement. Bertram will be back!
In the meantime find a moment if you can to have a scout through bro Richard's remarkable woollen world at www.cotswoldwoollenweavers.co.uk/
Thank you for brightening my day with another visit with Jeeves and Bertie! Double thanks for pointing to your brother's website, I see some lovely ideas for upcoming birthday gifts!
@@Rosemary2009,
Oh, what a pleasure!
You're perfect for these stories. Thanks for sharing. Kept me chuckling, the way Bertram is always exaggerating.
Another great reading, thank you Sir! x
Wonderful. Thank you so much...... a real treat to listen to ❤️
These stories are wonderful. Very humorous. Didn't know of them. Your narration is top notch
This was a nice treat. There's not too many Jeeves and Wooster's I haven't read. This was a story I did not know existed, until I found in my feed an hour or so ago. Thank you for this. I laughed from beginning to end.
Thanks for another one TrickNick! Saving this one for bedtime. 📘💖
PGW's humour is exquisite and the reader's delivery superb. I'm hooked. The fiction is at least partly grounded in reality. One wonders how a person with a too notch education can be so vapid and useless. Bertie would be lost without Jeeves. Bertie's family would have done well by requiring that he work as a condition of his allowance. Aunt Agatha and Jeeves together could manage him if she could accept that Jeeves exercises good judgment despite his lower social standing. Bertie might actually grow up under those circumstances.
Bravo Lord “M”! You’ve brought such joy into all our lives, Plum himself is beyond the moon with delight! Thank you for posting and sharing with your devoted fans! Cheers, julie
Excellent, thank you so much!
Please more audiobooks, your wonderful reading is addictive!Many thanks from Jupiter, Florida!
More will be coming. With many thanks to you too from West Wales!
❤️😎
Brilliantly read. Love these and can’t wait for the next one.
You’re such a wonderful narrator! Wish you could do more Roald Dahl or Agatha Christie. 😊
golly gosh..yes.
Unfortunately the copyright police are very quick to strike AC material. 😕 Cheers and blessings fr Nashville yall 🙂
Not Roald Dahl.
Huzzah! A few days ago, I was wondering when you might favor us with another Wodehouse story, and when I checked my TH-cam feed, my prayers were answered. Another sterling performance, sir.
Well done. Thank you!
Apart from a few mispronunciations, which are unimportant in the great scheme of things, these are extremely well read. I prefer Nick Martin's work to all other interpretations. Great clarity. The characterisations are vivid and timing perfect. Compelling listening. They have brought me great joy.
Many thanks for your efforts in these readings. I have only discovered Wodehouse in the last few months (at age 63) thanks to the likes of Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens all ganging up on me to check the bloke out. So I invested an Audible credit on Fry’s Jeeves collection, then the Blandings collection, and now I am seeking out more and more stories, wherever I can find them.
PS: Scourge rhymes with surge. Sorry to nitpick.
Young Bertie comes well recommended then!
Oh crikey, another rogue pronunciation. Too late to fix now!
Wonderful. So enjoyable. Thanks. From an Ossie fan 👇💜🙃
I’m definitely going to look at those Woolen Weavers. They look lovely!
Wonderful. Thank you 🇮🇪👍
Listening over and over. Escape from this time' problems( politics).
Thank you so much for narrating and sharing these! I've just discovered your representations of P. G. Wodehouse's works, and thus fallen in love with them! So much great humor and fun!
9:35 Bonzo is and has been, from the cradle, a pest 😂
Sorry it’s been so long Nick. So happy to find another gem cued. Well done as usual sir! “Hey” to your brother & the rest of the fam! Blessings fr across the pond. 😃🥰🙏🏼✝️
Delays all round but thank you and to you. Cheers.
Thoroughly heartening ☀️
Nick almost sounds like Hugh Laurie. 👍
Please consider tackling EF Benson , would love to hear you reading some of the Mapp and Lucia books 😊
Hm, thanks for the recommendation of a new author to try!
Nick, Richard has told me about your foray into the TUBE. Marvellous......xx Peter
Ha! we meet again at last! Yes and I expect you were as surprised as I've been - seeing all this. Hope all is well. Pip pip
Thank you!!!!!!
Wow, you are rattling through them - and then again! Thanks for all your comments.
Excellent.
Enjoyed.
So enjoying stories at bedtime.
Thanks for the reading! I also like the photos of the throwers or blankets or 'what nots' but its not possible any more to receive packages from UK.
Thanks. I am sure bro' would find a way!
Could you please read, The Code of the Woosters? Funny story, and needs a good reader.
Thank you Gloris for the appreciation!
The code of the Woosters has been on the list but keeps getting pushed down due to the length. One of these days, I will have to buckle down to it - it is a good one.
The “pip speech” at 35:25 is so philosophical, then I think he used the “F” word. 😮😂
Oh my golly gosh, I'm so thrilled about this channel. Have you considered reading for audible?
Miss S. You look rather young. How did one of your age find any Jeeves books? That's A wee bit unusual for your generation. Go you!
M. Illinois.
@@mwatts-riley2688 I'll be 40 in Sept!
And I possess a kaleidescope of interests and pursuits..and this is one of them... and boy is it bullseye. What about you? Your kitter katter looks rather young ;)
There was a collection by PG Wodehouse called Plum Pie...plz do find and read that...very exceptional writing
I'll take a look, thanks.
✨'... a combination of boy scout and delivery wagon...' 😂✨
I went to your brothers website, I so want an armchair and stool and the natural British throws look and sound amazing, will have to pop up in the new year if I can’t get there before 😊 off to listen to you chat and fall asleep, so will be back for the next few nights to hear the whole story 😂
Great. And Richard will be pleased to see you there!
Please do a reading of Rusty Runs Away by Ruskin Bond.
I will look into it, thanks
Listen to agatha raisin books too, she is from the Cottswells, as well. Lighter murder mysteries. M. 📚 Illinois.
WTF are "the Cottswells"?? Do you possibly mean "the Cotswolds"??
👏👏👏👏👏
Great job. Minor point: I think it’s “Thos” with the h pronounced and to rhyme with “coast”. (almost).
❤
Burtie is so so helpless without Jeeves. He can't even make a cup of tea. He is so dependent on Jeeves even to dress him.
Awful. At least Men in America his age, know how to plow a field and ride the train, whereas Burtie is useless and a child.👶 Jeeves is so patient with him, like a momma cat with a kitten. H A. ! 🐱
😂😂😂😂😄🙌
Is that an ad at 36 min?
Yes it is... from me, Richard Martin... I'm Nick's brother and run Cotswold Woollen Weavers in the English Cotswolds. Please look it up!
And I agree Nick is a very good Wodehouse reader indeed, just as my woollen throws are very good too!
As B Wooster would probably say.. pip pip, everyone!
Or "what ho"
Yes. Nick Martin promotes his brother's woollens shop shamelessly, in spite of the community rules banning commercial messages.
Nobody does voiceover direction on these damned stories, with the result that there is always mangling of the words. Shortly after 47:00 we get "lissome" pronounced as "lie-some". I ask you. Where did Nick Martin receive his educations, and what was he doing during the English language lessons? Enough! I will find Plum read by another voice.
Oh Jude, you are such a tease! You are right of course my mind was elsewhere during the English lessons and pretty much all the other lessons too. Thinking about how to go about being a pig farmer or the next electronics project or maybe how to fit that old motorbike engine onto a gokart. And these dreadful mispronunciations are the result!
A bit of a perfectionist, what? Are you this way with everyone? May I suggest that you lighten up and enjoy these readings, flaws and all. Or not. It's your choice. It doesn't matter one iota to the rest of us.
