    Nick, I have listened to this many times. The climactic passage about the discharge of the contents of the stable bucket is liquid gold. Your expression of it is absolutely glorious. I doubt Wodehouse himself could imagine any better. Sensational. Thank you so much for your gift of such fun.

I say that from personal experience and from reading the same sentiments coming through in the comments of others. I go so far as to say that your work is a blessing - a term I do not use lightly. It stirs deep joy. I can only say, thank you so much Nick, for your sparkling contribution to the lives of others.

    Many thanks for your efforts in these readings. I have only discovered Wodehouse in the last few months (at age 63) thanks to the likes of Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens all ganging up on me to check the bloke out. So I invested an Audible credit on Fry’s Jeeves collection, then the Blandings collection, and now I am seeking out more and more stories, wherever I can find them.
    PS: Scourge rhymes with surge. Sorry to nitpick.

    Apart from a few mispronunciations, which are unimportant in the great scheme of things, these are extremely well read. I prefer Nick Martin's work to all other interpretations. Great clarity. The characterisations are vivid and timing perfect. Compelling listening. They have brought me great joy.

    PGW's humour is exquisite and the reader's delivery superb. I'm hooked. The fiction is at least partly grounded in reality. One wonders how a person with a too notch education can be so vapid and useless. Bertie would be lost without Jeeves. Bertie's family would have done well by requiring that he work as a condition of his allowance. Aunt Agatha and Jeeves together could manage him if she could accept that Jeeves exercises good judgment despite his lower social standing. Bertie might actually grow up under those circumstances.

    Nobody does voiceover direction on these damned stories, with the result that there is always mangling of the words. Shortly after 47:00 we get "lissome" pronounced as "lie-some". I ask you. Where did Nick Martin receive his educations, and what was he doing during the English language lessons? Enough! I will find Plum read by another voice.
