Ойын-сауық
Remember cousins Claude and Eustace? They are back again, "and more or less generally admitted to be the curse of the human race"
Written in 1922 and set in the Cotswolds this story follows on directly from Comrade Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood.
If you have a moment do look in on brother Richard's Cotswold Woollen Weavers. The details will pop up on screen during the story.

Thank you all for the warm and appreciative comments below and I'm pleased you liked it. A good story and have you noticed, as ever its summer time in Bertie's land - which makes a welcome escape from our present dive into British mid winter! Cheers all

So true, I hadn’t noticed that! (Lol; also a lovely get-away for Those of Us in Canada!)
What a thrill to log on and find a new story! Thank you so much Nick ❤
Thank you Nick, another wonderful read. Such a delight! 🌺
One of my favourites. Thanks
Hooray 👏👍🌹Lord Nick’s brave new read .
Huzzah! A new Jeeves and Wooster story from Tricky Nick! A cause for rejoicing!
Thank you!
Ah Nick, thank you so much. I’ve listened to your readings over and over. Hearing you read a new one is a marvellous early Christmas gift. I don’t think that you realize how much real pleasure that you give us all. I’m grateful to you for taking the time to do it. You’ve made me a very happy old battleaxe. Big hugs from Canada

Thank you, Nicky. You are a life saver.
That was a completely new PG Wodehouse story to me. Very entertaining, I listened with great enjoyment while making hot cross buns (there's nothing like an audiobook as an accompaniment to kneading dough). Thank you so much.
The Inimitable Jeeves read by The Inimitable Martin. This is a good day, indeed!
Thanks! So happy to see another story up here. Yay!
Best author combined with best narrator! Love these stories!
Oh joy, Nick Martin narrates, thank you!!!!!!!!!
From a lifelong Wodehouse devotee who is highly critical of any poor rendition of PGW’s work and who knows most of the oeuvre inside out and backwards, I think these readings are extremely well done. Thank you.

Thank you for that! Have a great Boxing Day.
These are beautifully done. Thank you for making these available to us. My hubby and i got hooked on the TV show, then I found the radio show with Sir Richard Briers and yours are easily as good.
Splendid ! Jolly good show to have this rather spiffing story read to me this joyful morning. Many thanks to you 🙏🏼 📜✍️ 😊
excellent as always.
Thank you, lovely to hear you back .
Thanks you so so much. What a delightful find this evening 🙏😊😁💚🌏
Dear Martin, I love your narration so much , it’s extraordinary ! 😊
Now my Sunday is perfect! Thank you Nick xx
Just found this. Thank you so much xxx
By jingo Tricky, what a spiffing wheeze.
Wow! thank you so much for another reading. Your readings are absolutely spiffy and out of this world. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thank you, thank you! What a delight it was to receive a notification that we have a new Wodehouse story! My dear Alzheimer’s client, who’s followed Wodehouse for years, smiles and laughs at all these stories. You bring such joy to us both with your superb reading ❤

How lovely to know that! Thank you so much and the very best wishes to you and the lady in your care.
This is excellent. I've been searching for a good reading of this story for months: here it is at last. Very well done indeed.
Awesome, just a joy!
You have spoiled me for every other reader of the works of P. G. Wodehouse, Mr. Martin. Your voice characterizations fit my mental images of Berty, Jeeves, et al, perfectly.
Thank you once again for a great narration!
Excellent, I’d forgotten that one! Lol; I enjoyed the out-takes a lot!!
Finn was trying telling ya how it should be done...too funny! 😄👏👍🏼😘

O my word the last bit had me rolling! 😂 Love it! Finn just wanted to be heard & I loved it!😍 You are sooo good that I get lost & forget for a few seconds that it's just you. The entire thing was excellent but the Bloopers/rehearsal (whatever ya want to call it) very much needed! TYSM for leaving it in to share with us! You have been missed! Ty for taking the time! Give Finney(?) a scratch behind the ears from me 😘😊 O what the heck give yourself one too Ha-ha😁

Thanks! Finn tells me he thinks he could manage a whole show solo next time if he could have a scratch off everyone.
Wodehouse was a saintly man who applied anaesthesia to our perception of reality by removing us from it. Such is the horror of this existence we call life.
One of my favourite stories
I love the bloopers!
Great stuff don't you know.. I like the outtake at the end.
What a joy to listen to this! Thank you.
Marvelous reading, Mr. Martin, thank you so much!
Great reading, love it!
My dearest Lord “M” - my apologies for arriving late for tea! I just discovered this and listened with joyful enthusiasm. Hats off to you and Finn; a most charming and delightful read! Cheers, julie

Nice to see u back! Thanx!
Thank you so much!
Love the puppydog singing bloopers❤🐾
London temperatures may get to 75 degrees in summer. Raving on about how "beastly hot" that is is positively hilarious. Those dainty little people people would surely expire over the course of a Texas summer. How any of them ever endured India or Nairobi is a mystery.

I think Wodehouse and Kipling were describing young Englishmen at opposite ends of the distribution curve.

The weaving brother here... clever old Nick, and what can be better than wrap yourself in a woollen throw, and settle down to a good long listen to young Bertie W.
I'm seriously considering saying "what?" after all profound statements, like Bertie. Can an American get away with it?😂
