Actually, most of them have too little money. In this unspecified period after the First World War, these young men in spats (just too young to have been conscripted) all seem to be dependent on rich uncles for an allowance on which they are meant to live, and which many of them promptly place on Greased Lightning or Ballyrush in the 2:30 at Cheltenham, on the assurance from some acquaintance or other that this horse absolutely cannot lose ... It is never made clear, but it must be assumed that the absence of so many fathers (and the resulting dependence on uncles for financial support) is because they died during the war. Bertie's own parents are both dead, but he (unlike so many of his friends) inherited a large amount of money when he came of age.

Rosie M. Banks is a combination of two popular female novelists of the time, Ethel M. Dell and Ruby M. Ayres.first name Rosie=ruby. Last name dell=banks (dells, or valleys, and river banks are both features of the countryside). And of course, there is the co-incidence of them both having the middle initial “M”. Bingo later marries this authouress. Bertie feels it is his duty to read one of her books, to see what is going on. He gives the reader a summary of the romantic plot, and comments: [quote from memory] “I was appalled. Of course, I had always known in a general way that Mrs. Bingo wrote the world’s worst tripe, but I had not thought even she capable of producing such stupendous bilge as this.”

Banks “He was young and rich and handsome, an officer in the Coldstream Guards and the idol of all who knew him. Everybody envied him.” “I don’t wonder, the lucky stiff.” “But he was not really to be envied. There was a tragedy in his life. He loved Cynthia Grey, the most beautiful girl in London, but just as he was about to speak his love, he found that she was engaged to Sir Hector Mauleverer, the explorer.” “Dangerous devils, these explorers. You want to watch them like hawks. In these circs, of course, he would have refrained from speaking his love? Kept it under his hat, I suppose, what? ” “Yes, he spoke no word of love. But he went on worshipping her, outwardly gay and cheerful, inwardly gnawed by a ceaseless pain. And then one night her brother Lionel, a wild young man who had unfortunately got into bad company, came to his rooms and told him that he had committed a very serious crime and was going to be arrested, and he asked Mervyn to save him by taking the blame himself. And, of course, Mervyn said he would.” “The silly ass! Why?” “For Cynthia’s sake. To save her brother from imprisonment and shame.” “But it meant going to chokey himself. I suppose he overlooked that?” “No. Mervyn fully realized what must happen. But he confessed to the crime and went to prison. When he came out, grey and broken, he found that Cynthia had married Sir Hector, and he went out to the South Sea Islands and became a beachcomber. And time passed. And then one day Cynthia and her husband arrived at the island on their travels and stayed at Government House, and Mervyn saw her drive by, and she was just as beautiful as ever, and their eyes met, but she didn’t recognize him, because of course he had a beard and his face was changed because he had been living the pace that kills, trying to forget.” I remembered a good one I had read somewhere about the pace that kills nowadays being the slow, casual walk across a busy street, but I felt that this was not the moment to spring it. “He found out that she was leaving next morning, and he had nothing to remember her by, so he broke into Government House in the night and took from her dressing-table the rose she had been wearing in her hair. And Cynthia found him taking it, and, of course, she was very upset when she recognized him. “ Oh, she recognized him this time? He’d shaved, had he?’’ “ No, he still wore his beard, but she knew him when he spoke her name, and there was a very powerful scene in which he told her how he had always loved her and had come to steal her rose, and she told him that her brother had died and confessed on his death-bed that it was he who had been guilty of the crime for which Mervyn had gone to prison. And then Sir Hector came in.” “Good situation. Strong.” “And, of course, he thought Mervyn was a burglar, and he shot him, and Mervyn died with the rose in has hand. And, of course, the sound of the shot roused the house, and the Governor came running in and said: ‘Is anything missing?’ And Cynthia in a low, almost inaudible voice said : ‘Only a rose,’ That is the story of Mervyn Keene, Clubman.”

Bertie’s actual review. “I had always known in a sort of vague, general way that Mrs Bingo wrote the world’s worst tripe - Bingo generally changes the subject nervously if anyone mentions the little woman’s output - but I had never supposed her capable of bilge like this,”

3:53 -- Bertie can't even make a cup of tea, yet he wants to raise a child.

Why would he need to make a cup of tea when he has Jeeves?

Oh I say, that's not fair. Bertie can make a cup of tea, we see him doing it in another episode. True, he needs to consult a large how-to book before he can start, and he manages to burn himself in the process, but I have to say that he is capable of mastering the intricacies of tea-making, just about. Almost, anyway.

Superb acting and Brilliant production

When reading Wodehouse, it's Fry and Laurie I hear..

It’s only Fry’s readings of ‘The Jeeves Collection’ and ‘The Blandings Collection’ on Audible which have introduced me to Wodehouse, so I am discovering these videos and devouring the entire canon retrospectively. But better late than never, eh what?

'Only A Factory Girl' 😄

If we all had the cerebral understanding of Jeeves, how better the world would be!

Haha poor Bertie, he really does get himself into some scrapes - mind you he doesn't have bring it on himself! And Jeeves being horrified by that tie. Brilliant! :D

In the Wodehouse books, Bingo Little goes on to marry Rosie M. Banks!
