    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.

    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.

      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!

    Slowly Jeeves starts to be my role model: agreeing politely with every stupidity, telling humbly "yes. sir", not wanting to "be right" - tough in fact being the only person in charge who controls and influences state of affairs. This is a very special skill, indeed.

    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.

    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

    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
      @MixerTWS 2 года назад +3

      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.
