I regret that I am permitted but a single ‘thumb-up’, because your fine reading deserves many more.

[@Trickynickymarts]

Ha! Many thanks!

Hello! Nice to hear from you again. It's been a while.. And Wodehouse at that! Wish you and your brother and all your family stay healthy!

Life without Jeeves? Perish the thought!

It is a miserable thought!

[@gwenmarshall9855]

Lovely! Glad to see you back and thanks for the wonderful readings.

Narration is beyond perfection!!!!!!!! Pure acting! Academy award from me!!!!!!! 🥇

[@Trickynickymarts]

Thank you. Gratefully received!

[@holmesway]

All accolades regarding delivery are well deserved. It's worth mentioning the quality of the recording which is so good, it helps immensely. There's little or no ambient room noise, which is often so off putting on other YT audiobooks. Crisp and clear recording. - Well done old bean.

[@Trickynickymarts]

Thank you! I do occasionally have to wait for a lorry to pass by or for particularly heavy rain to stop beating on the window. In the summer if a window is open, birdsong will be picked up quite easily - but that's not so bad. Cheers!

[@holmesway]

@@Trickynickymarts Yes, extraneous noise apart, the ambience is warm and not over reverberant (gosh, I sound like Berty himself). It can be so off-putting.

Welcome back Nick “old boy” you’ve been sorely missed! To me you are mr Bertram Wooster!❤️

[@Trickynickymarts]

Thank you!

What a great reading by Nick Martin his voice variation is brilliant, thanks for posting

[@Trickynickymarts]

Thank you - sequel to follow.

[@kjcolewelle]

Like Jeeves himself, you are something of a marvel! Thank you so much for lifting my spirits with this excellent rendition!

[@Trickynickymarts]

That's great - thank you

[@granthurlburt4062]

I very much appreciate the cover photo. I love seeing these old cars and it is easy to be unaware of how dense automobile traffic could be even in the 1920's and 1930's.

[@Trickynickymarts]

Just what I thought! Thanks

[@NiallMor]

Huzzah! A new Jeeves and Wooster story from Tricky Nick. What could be better?

[@TedaR]

YAY! Just what we needed! Has been hard to carry on w/o Tricky Nick what?! Best PGW voices & I do mean best ever imo! Spread the word, our man Martin needs MORE recognition!! ☑☑☑ Cheers & Blessings & the biggest piece of Thank You pie! ✔💯👍👏💙😘😄

What a genius way to sum up the character of Honoria Glossop: "..Honoria started collecting me and the rest of her things....".

[@spikemcnock8310]

Listened to this not long ago and it is still fantastic. Thank you.

[@rezzer7918]

Exceedingly rich telling of rummy yet funny encounters 'tween landed and nouveau young gentry in early 20th century England, what?! 😉 Right oh! *WELL DONE* !!!

[@MixerTWS]

Thanks for the early Christmas present! It's the first time I've checked in for a few weeks and I'm certainly glad I did.

[@Trickynickymarts]

Great! There is part 2 of this story in the pipeline for delivery soon. Thanks

[@TheHansoost]

Great tale very well told or read rather.

[@dermotrichardsheils4971]

I read this episode a few times before but I enjoy it so much more when Nick brings the characters to life. Thanks for half an hour of chuckles and laugh out loud moments.

[@Trickynickymarts]

Thanks again - keep on chuckling!

[@rosemarysmith5991]

Wonderful reading, Mr. Martin! The work just flies by when I listen, thank you so much!

Here I sat on my old rocking chair on the verandah of my shack in locked-down Bangkok wondering how to pass the evening when... Bingo! KZbin jumps up and says TrickyNicky has uploaded another gem! I mixed a whisky soda, sat back, and listened. And it was a gem indeed! Many thanks.

Nick Your voices and readings are right up there with the Martin Jarvises of this world.

[@Trickynickymarts]

Ha! Not sure about that Geoff but thanks anyway!

[@FerdinandCesarano]

The set of definitive performers of the Wodehouse oeuvre, a set which had heretofore consisted of Martin Jarvis and Jonathan Cecil, must now be understood to include Nick Martin.

[@sambojangles5175]

Wonderful as always! The audio quality is much better too. Stay safe, friend 😊

Ah that's good - but not sure what I have done differently! Thank you.

[@mwatts-riley2688]

Delightful. Both the book and the performance. ☕ It's a cold Chicago night, we just turned on the heater for the first time in 7 months. And just made my first pot of coffee, in the evening, in the same 7 months. Usually I drink iced tea. ALL THE TIME. Tonight my toes and cold. My 14yr kitty is under the covers. My husband is cold, he would rather do without than to go outside to smoke. 🚬 Ya know it's really cold out when He gives up a Winston, in favor of blankets. Hmmm. 😉 M. Elgin. Illinois. 🍵

Thank you - sounds like Autumn has had the chop over there!

[@philodonoghue3062]

The concept and practice of decision makers being made at the lowest level closest to the communities affected by the decisions is called ‘subsidiarity’ and seems to originate in the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum in the early 1900s. This was the Catholic Church’s response to the new urbanisation and industrialisation forces. It also criticised the excesses of capitalism and communism and tried to drive a course between them encouraging co-operatives at the local level

[@rezzer7918]

🤔 hmm...

Now I want to get a male tuxedo cat and name him Jeeves!

[@wendyharris8026]

Thank you. Best Bertie ever ❤️

[@FerdinandCesarano]

It is interesting that Aunt Agatha's butler is called Spenser (which is presumably his surname). This story must have been written before Wodehouse decided that the name of Aunt Agatha's first husband would be Spenser Gregson.

[@MixerTWS]

Yes the butler's name was Spenser in the story's 1922 U.S. and U.K. magazine appearances, was still Spenser in the 1923 book "The Inimitable Jeeves" but was later corrected and changed to Benson in "The World of Jeeves" omnibus, which collects all 34 J&W short stories.

Hilarious voices BUT why in the world have you made such a hodgepodge of these exquisite stories???

In the 1920's?

[@judeirwin2222]

The reader MUST know that "Berkeley Street" or "Berkeley Square" are NOT pronounced in the American way like "Burr klee" but "BAR klee". SHAME on you.

[@rezzer7918]

How dare you, sir.

[@johndean958]

Oh go away. If the spelling states Ber and not Bar...perhaps it has always been accepted, but clearly is wrong.
