Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P.G. Wodehouse
4.0
This wasn't one of my Jeeves & Wooster favourites (perhaps because it was the last...).
It was just a touch too modern, especially when you go into a Wodehouse story expecting the pre-war slang and lightheartedness.
Still, it was amusing! PGW always has the flair for description, for instance, referring to a fellow calming down as: "he went off the boil."
And a marvellous description of Bertie Wooster by Bertie Wooster: "I was more the sort that is content just to exist beautifully."
Which I shall be employing in my everyday vocabulary from here on out.
