Reid, Kerry (6 February 2020). "Jeeves Saves the Day offers a midwinter escape". Chicago Reader . Retrieved 6 February 2020. Cawthorne (2013), pp. 169–170. "Jeeves has achieved the ultimate accolade: his own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, where he is 'the perfect valet, used allusively'. 'Jeevesian' and 'Jeeves-like' also appear." The Jeeves canon is set in a floating timeline (with each story being set at the time when it was written though the characters do not age), in an idealized world where wars are downplayed or not mentioned. Certain Edwardian era elements, such as traditional gentlemen's clubs like the Drones Club, continue to be prevalent throughout the stories.Aubrey Upjohn is also a minor Drones Club character. He is the headmaster of St. Asaph's preparatory school in Bramley-on-Sea, which Freddie Widgeon attended in the past, in " Bramley Is So Bracing". In the story, Freddie inadvertently leaves Bingo Little's baby in Upjohn's study. [72] St. Asaph's may be another name for Malvern House. Bill Belfry, 9th Earl of Rowcester (pronounced "roaster"), is a fictional character introduced in the novel Ring for Jeeves, in which he is the impoverished owner of the near-derelict Rowcester Abbey in Southmoltonshire. He has a sister, Monica "Moke" Carmoyle, and was a Commando in WWII. [12]

Blumenfeld was inspired by Abraham Lincoln Erlanger, a dictatorial American theatrical producer who produced the 1916 musical Miss Springtime, which Wodehouse contributed to as lyricist. Erlanger employed a twelve-year-old boy to second-guess his creative judgments, on the grounds that this was the mental age of the average Broadway audience; this is similar to Blumenfeld, Fixing it for Freddie", a rewrite of a Reggie Pepper story, "Helping Freddie", originally published in My Man Jeeves As a valet, he was employed at different times by Ginger Winship, L. P. Runkle, and Bertie Wooster. [12] Mr Blumenfeld [ edit ] Harold "Ginger" Winship is a fictional character appearing in the Jeeves novel, Much Obliged, Jeeves. He is a friend of Bertie Wooster and was Bertie's neighbor at Magdalen College at the University of Oxford. He has ginger hair and was a heavyweight boxer for Oxford. At one point, he is engaged to Florence Craye, though he ultimately marries Magnolia Glendennon. [75] His former valet Brinkley was also Bertie's valet for a time when Jeeves had briefly left his service. George Wooster, Lord Yaxley, is a fictional character in the Jeeves stories. He frequents many gentlemen's clubs, and is said to have discovered, well before modern medical thought, that alcohol was a food. [79] He is Bertie's uncle and apparently inherits his title, as he seems unlikely to have earned it. He eventually marries an ex-barmaid. [80] He plays an important role in " The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace" and appears in " Indian Summer of an Uncle".In Joy in the Morning, Stilton was the local policeman at Aunt Agatha's rural village Steeple Bumpleigh and was engaged to Florence Craye who was in residence there. In this novel, Stilton and Florence temporarily end their engagement because she does not want him to be a policeman. They reconcile after Stilton resigns from the police force when the local Justice of the Peace refuses to let him make an arrest. In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, the engagement between Stilton and Florence is threatened because Stilton refuses to grow a moustache and Florence goes to a night club with Bertie. Stilton leaves Florence for good and becomes romantically interested in the novelist Daphne Dolores Morehead.

[39] Gwladys Pendlebury [ edit ] Leave It to Jeeves" (1940) is an episode of the American CBS radio series Forecast.

[62] Sippy Sipperley [ edit ] In 1919, two silent short comedy films, "Making Good with Mother" and "Cutting Out Venus", were released in the US.
