Quick Service
by P.G. Wodehouse
My intro to comic writing, my first P.G. Wodehouse and definitely not my last.
One continuous laugh. Fun references to both American-isms and British-isms.
There is a competition between one book-loving couple as to whose proclivities are the most realistic, reading crime novels or reading romantic novels.
Every sentence is written in an amusing and unexpected way, often from a unique perspective of one's stomach or a nearby bird. Will understand upon reading.
A butler has to "buttle"
Mention of "elevenses", which is yet another example of something I thought existed only in fantasy worlds and then learned actually exists in the UK.
Mention of "love in a cottage", which I heard for the first time in the most recent Little Women film and loved, and after hearing it here, I looked it up in the OED: 'a euphemistic expression for marriage with insufficient means', also 'When one marries for love without sufficient means to maintain one's social status'
Food to try: custard sugar apple
