Happy New Year’s Eve from Bertie and Jeeves :3

[professorpski]

A confused aroma of cheap clothing greeted him. Except for a small oasis behind a grubby counter, practically all the available space was occupied by suits. Stiff suits, looking like the body when discovered by the police, hung from hooks. Limp suits, with the appearance of having swooned from exhaustion, lay about on chairs and boxes. The place was a cloth morgue, a Sargasso Sea of serge.

More than once P.G. Wodehouse has one of his heroes runs for cover into a used clothing store, or a general used goods store, only to have him pounced on by the salesmen who load him up with things he doesn't in the last want or need, but is unable to resist.

Used clothing stores used to exist to help out those with a small budget who needed the formal clothing that all adult men wore in public spaces at one time or another. Such shops also existed because clothing was more expensive then it is now. Then was 1921 and the book was The Indiscretions of Archie, a good-natured but silly young man who foreshadows the character Bertie Wooster.

I so like the idea of a Sargasso Sea of serge in which poor Archie finds himself adrift because of yet another silly adventure gone wrong.

A new boxed set Wodehouse has been approved for the home library, three from the Blandings series. I’m a sucker for the uniform Overlook press series, but this is the first I’ve seen grouped as a box set. . . #Wodehouse #PGWodehouse #Blandings #bibliophile #homelibrary #shelfie #anglophile (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Or8FLprlc/?igshid=py0y2x13isgl

Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, "So, you're back from Moscow, eh?

“Flowers are happy things.” - P. G. Wodehouse ・・・ I came across this delightfully simple quote this morning and thought that we don’t frequently enough share what makes us happy. Flowers are amongst the things that make me happy, an emotion that is scarce in my life right now . ・・・ #Quote #PGWodehouse #Happiness #Flowers #FlowersMakeMeHappy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4YZPdgr5P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=582r513rxzz0
