  Agatha Gregson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aunt Agatha, as she is best known, is the most bossy of the three aunts of Bertie Wooster referred to in Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Agatha had at first been engaged to Percy Craye, though upon reading in the papers of his behavior at a Covent Garden ball, she had broken it off.
She is married to Spenser Gregson for most of the Wodehouse canon, though he dies in time for her to marry Craye, who had by then become Earl of Worplesdon, in Joy in the Morning; thereupon she becomes Lady Worplesdon.

 Bertie Wooster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bertie has at least five uncles, three of which he has acquired by marriage: Tom Travers, Aunt Dahlia's husband; Spenser Gregson, Aunt Agatha's first husband; and Percy Craye, Earl of Worplesdon, her second; Henry Wooster, a "looney" of whom the family is deeply embarrassed; and Willoughby Wooster.
Nevertheless, he is perpetually afraid of his Aunt Agatha, who considers him a spineless invertebrate and a burden on society; his Aunt Dahlia, on the contrary, likes him very much, often inviting him to stay at her country estate, Brinkley Court.
Aunt Agatha is of the opinion that Bertie, a burden to society in his present state, must marry; furthermore, he must marry a girl capable of moulding his personality and compensating for his many defects.

 EXTRICATING YOUNG GUSSIE by P. G. Wodehouse - The Literature Page
I knew Aunt Agatha well enough to know that, if she had come to see me, she was going to see me. That's the sort of woman she is.
I dare say there are fellows in the world--men of blood and iron, don't you know, and all that sort of thing--whom she couldn't intimidate; but if you're a chappie like me, fond of a quiet life, you simply curl into a ball when you see her coming, and hope for the best.
My experience is that when Aunt Agatha wants you to do a thing you do it, or else you find yourself wondering why those fellows in the olden days made such a fuss when they had trouble with the Spanish Inquisition.
