 Much Obliged, Jeeves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A heretofore unknown old school chum of Bertie's, Ginger Winship, is standing for the House of Commons in a by-election, and Aunt Dahlia has offered the use of Brinkley as a general H. for the campaign.
Dahlia wants to soften up Runkle and get him to unbelt, so Tuppy can have his legacy and finally marry her daughter Angela.
Ginger's chances for election (and thus his engagement to Florence) are threatened by the spectre of Bingley, a former valet of his, who has purloined the Club Book of the Junior Ganymede Club and is threatening to sell it, and its explosive tales of Ginger's past, to his opponent or the local newspaper.

 Right Ho, Jeeves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Returning from Cannes after several weeks with his Aunt Dahlia Travers, her daughter Angela, and Angela's friend Madeline Bassett, Bertie is informed that Gussie Fink-Nottle has been a frequent caller.
Jeeves has advised the young master that the way to reconcile the young couples is to ring the fire bell in the night, on the theory that the men will rush to rescue their beloveds, and tearful apologies will naturally follow.
He proposes to Madeline, ticks off Tom Travers properly, and delivers the speech at the prize-giving to end all speeches at prize-givings, at the end of which he hints darkly of an illicit liaison between the headmaster and the mother of the winner of the Scripture Knowledge prize.

 Dahlia Travers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike Bertie's other aunt Agatha, this aged relative seems to enjoy Bertie's company and occasionally shows him an aunt's love, even if she does call him a "young blot." Sometimes, Bertie suspects, Dahlia seems to value him more for his association with the exceptionally brainy Jeeves than for his own qualities.
Riding as she did for years with the Quorn and the Pytchley, she can emit a yelp that can be heard in the next county.
She was for many years the proprietor of a weekly newspaper for women, Milady's Boudoir, which never sold well and only stayed in business because of the reluctant largesse of Dahlia's husband, who referred to the paper as "Madame's Nightshirt." Bertie once contributed an article to it titled "What the well-dressed man is wearing".

Only his aunts—Aunt Dahlia and Aunt Agatha, sisters of his late father—play major roles in the stories; his uncles, while mentioned in passing, are not recurring characters.
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.
