  Right Ho, Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse - Section 1 of 26 - Book Club/Fiction - ArcaMax Publishing
I went to Cannes--leaving Jeeves behind, he having intimated that he did not wish to miss Ascot--round about the beginning of June.
And it was while I was at the flat, towelling the torso after a much-needed rinse, that Jeeves, as we chatted of this and that--picking up the threads, as it were--suddenly brought the name of Gussie Fink-Nottle into the conversation.
I had looked in at his place while on a motor trip, and he had put me right off my feed by bringing a couple of green things with legs to the luncheon table, crooning over them like a young mother and eventually losing one of them in the salad.

  Right Ho, Jeeves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 finally relents to Jeeves' fire-bell scheme, and, at one in the morning, while all the staff is at a party at a distant house and the residents and guests of Brinkley are asleep, rings the bell for all it is worth.
Jeeves reveals that the fire bell was but the first part of the scheme, and that the operative part was to unite the differing parties in their common dislike of some other individual, in this case, Bertie.

 Wodehouse and the Natural Order - Errol D. Kaighin - Quadrant Magazine
Thought by his biographer, Frances Donaldson, to be the finest of Pelham Grenville Wodehouse's novels, Right Ho, Jeeves was published in 1934 when its author (called "Plum" since his schooldays) was fifty-three and in his prime as a writer.
Jeeves was said by Wodehouse to have popped into his mind after reading a minor classic of American humour, Ruggles of Red Gap, by Harry Leon Wilson.
Beyond a vague hint of non-physicality in the way Jeeves appears and disappears, there is nothing to suggest that Wodehouse knew that his immortal pair conformed to an archetypal pattern of the human psyche - that of the Ego and the Self.

 indeedsir: Fic: Mr. Wooster and the Difficult Afternoon
Jeeves is a rather bright-eyed sort in the early hours, and inclined to diversions that make it dashed difficult to leave the bed.
Jeeves did explain it to me later and his explanations always had a way of sounding perfectly reasonable—but to share the trick with Tuppy seemed a bit beyond the pale.
Jeeves glided across the room, and I felt the bed sink as he sat beside me. He placed one broad hand on the center of my back and stroked it up and down, something he does frequently since we reached our understanding.

Its triumph was the brimming double-act of Jeeves the butler and his employer Bertie Wooster.
Jeeves is an apparition of sanity and formality, barely manifest on the physical -- "a kind of darkish sort of respectful Johnnie," observes Wooster at their first meeting, pretty much leaving it at that for the remainder of their long association.

Wodehouse's writing is hilarious - Bertie Wooster is absurdly simple (and yet Oxford-educated), and this simplicity combined with his indignation and being referred to as dull-witted, and his incessant attempts to do without Jeeve's...
I think the appeal of this particular book is how well paced the stories are you find yourself almost racing through them because of the rapid fire wit and satire that Wodehouse throws out to the reader almost like as if one is playing tennis with the author.

Both are derived from the fiction of P. Wodehouse, whose character Jeeves quickly became known as more than a mere butler but something of a hidden genius, for Jeeves had the answers to everything.
Jeeves was a butler and veritable genius who got Bertie, his bumbling but well-meaning employer, out of trouble and inevitable misunderstandings.

One of the most popular of the Jeeves novels, Right Ho, Jeeves brings us to Brinkley Court, the lair of Bertie's Aunt Dahlia, who is by far my favorite secondary character in all the books.
This book is overshadowed by a decidedly antagonistic relationship between Jeeves and Bertie over a certain white jacket with brass buttons, and one can practically see Jeeves snickering in the background when his brilliant solution to the problems at hand is accomplished at Bertie's expense.
This is a favorite of all Jeeves and Wooster fans, and it features one of the most memorable scenes in the Wodehouse canon: Gussie Fink-Nottle's presentation of awards at a grammar school, after drinking a double-spiked orange juice.

Bertie's best-laid schemes, like those of mice and men, went "aft a-gley," and it was as well that Jeeves was ever at hand, not only to pour oil on the troubled waters of the young master's machinations, but to give further evidence of his never-failing powers and resource.

This volume is rather an odd collection, consisting of the first twenty-nine Bertie and Jeeves stories (at least the first twenty-nine to be collected) plus the novel Right Ho, Jeeves.
Wodehouse hit his stride in the 1920s (at approximately the age of forty!), and Right Ho, Jeeves, the latest work published here, dates from 1934, so these are works from the beginning of his greatest period, which, for my money, runs to the mid-1950s (Wodehouse lived until Valentine's Day 1975).

An interesting India connection of Ethel was that she had spent about a year in India near Mysore, where her former husband had been working as a mining engineer.
Wodehouse had a range of many endearing, unforgettable characters, who would often get into messy, comic situations, to be generally bailed out by Jeeves, the "gentleman's personal gentleman" whose super wit and intellect combined with his secret "pick-me-ups" for the "mornings-after" hangovers retrieved many a messy situation.
One of the best situational comedy is built up around Gussie Fink Nottle in Right Ho Jeeves, whose only interest in life is watching the antics of his pet newts in his country house.

The enormous appeal of P. Wodehouse's appalling creation Bertie Wooster, and his long-suffering valet Jeeves, of course, lies in the astoundingly intricate, literate, and witty British language that fills these books.
The stories are almost improbably funny, with Wodehouse's beautifully crafted combination of the Queen's English and a sort of well-schooled upper-crust slang that spills out of Bertie's mind and on to the page in a crazy and usually hilarious tumble.
Bertie, and Jeeves, chip in to make the match a done deal.
