Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. After the thing was all over, when peril had ceased to loom and happy endings had been distributed in heaping handfuls and we were driving home with our hats on the side of our heads, having shaken the dust of Steeple Bumpleigh from our tyres, I confessed to Jeeves that there had been moments during the recent proceedings when Bertram Wooster, though no weakling, had come very near to despair.  | |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. [Jeeves:] '....Her ladyship wishes you to convey it to its destination personally, realizing that, should she entrust it to the ordinary channels, the gift will be delayed in its arrival beyond the essential date.'
[Bertie:] 'You mean if she posts it, it won't get there in time?'
[Jeeves:] 'Precisely, sir.' [p. 37] 'Edwin did that. There's a lad, Jeeves. There's a boy who makes you feel that what this country wants is somebody like King Herod.' | |

Curious to find out more about Wodehouse and his literature, I decided to read "Joy in the morning", the book that made it into a top-100 list of English novels in the Guardian. This proved to be an excellent choice. Although I must admit that Wodehouse is a bit of a vocabulary and verbal phrase challenge to a non-native speaker, it certainly is also great joy to read. While I am not sure whether this book is an appropriate trainer for everyday conversation, I think it is the best compilation of English humour based on play on words that I have ever read. The plot reminds of a theatre comedy, as it develops around conversations among people that all know each other and have clear roles assigned to them. In the end, butler Jeeves solves it all. I am very thankful to Daniel Kehlmann for having directed my attention to P. G. Wodehouse. Indeed, it is "Joy in the morning" that Wodehouse began before and finished shortly after his internment in Nazi Germany. This book is the perfect link to Kehlmann's tribute to P. G. Wodhouse's humour in "Cinema", and it is a wonderful "getting to know the original Wodehouse humour" experience. (
