"'What ho!' I said.
'What ho!' said Motty.
'What ho! What ho!'
'What ho! What ho! What ho!'
After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation."
-- PG Wodehouse
Is it not splendid? Read this too:
"'Glug!' said Lord Emsworth - which, as any philologist will tell you, is the sound which peers of the realm make when stricken to the soul while drinking coffee." --from "Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend"
Ahhh. If you haven't read it, I recommend in particular "The Crime Wave at Blandings." And one can't go wrong with the stories about Wooster and Jeeves.
While I'm enthusing and recommending and such, there's also an excellent webcomic called Girl Genius that you should check out, and, on a more serious note, a thoughtful movie called Bella that you should watch. (It has nothing to do with Twilight.)
ugh, I totally forgot I was going to start reading Wodehouse! Thanks for the reminder! I was with you when I decided I was going to, wasn't I?
ReplyDeleteHmm, not sure. It might've happened during one of last semester's Timmy Tuesdays. (I know we didn't call them that, but now that I've thought of it, I think it would've been awesome if we did.)
