4. Roland Attwater (L) is lurking in the cupboard of Sir Claude Lynn (M), who is about to find a snake in his bed, by courtesy of Bobbie Wickham ("Something Squishy", from Mr Mulliner Speaking).

Round 204 - 28 September 2004

1. Bertie Wooster, taking the advice of Jeeves (A), is giving the repulsive boy scout Edwin Cray a well-deserved kick in the pants [Joy in the Morning, ch. 21].

Extra Credit: Annabel Purvis sent this telegram to Freddie Fitch-Fitch. ("Romance at Droitgate Spa", Eggs, Beans, and Crumpets)

Extra Extra Credit: Mervyn Mulliner, playing the role of the butler Jorkins in amateur theatricals, delivered his line correctly, but forgot a prop – the telegram that was supposed to cause the heroine to swoon. ("The Knightly Quest of Mervyn", Mulliner Nights)

Round 207 - 22 October 2004

1. The horse is Potato ; the speakers are Bertie and Jeeves. (Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, The Cat-nappers, Chapter 5)

2. C is Freddie Widgeon, and the person who has adopted Lady Godiva as a role model is the kid Prudence. ("Trouble Down at Tudsleigh," UK edition of Young Men in Spats, US edition of Eggs, Beans and Crumpets)

Round 209 - 9 November 2004

1. Mr. Donaldson, (B), the proprietor of Donaldson's Dog-Joy, gave his whole-hearted approval to President Roosevelt's New Deal in this conversation with his new relative-by-marriage Lord Emsworth, (A), in the short story "The Custody of the Pumpkin", which was first collected in Blandings Castle and Elsewhere.

2. This was Jeeves, (C), explaining Britain's post-war economic facts of life to an aghast Captain Biggar in Chapter Eleven of Ring For Jeeves (US title The Return of Jeeves).

3. In Chapter Five of Jill the Reckless (US title The Little Warrior), Jill Mariner's, (D's), reward for saving the life of the parrot Bill was to get pinched by a Suffragette-hating constable and charged with assaulting the would-be parrot assassin. Her unfortunate and blameless companion Freddie Rooke was deemed to be guilty by association and also got it in the neck. Forty-seven years later, in the short story "Bingo Bans the Bomb", which was collected in Plum Pie, the attempt by that red-headed menace Mabel Murgatroyd, (F), and her hapless companion Bingo Little, (E), to ban the bomb by sitting down in the middle of Trafalgar Square was rendered null and void when they were scooped off the pavement by an annoyed constable.

4. In Chapter Twenty-One of Psmith, Journalist the title character, while not, perhaps, emulating President Roosevelt's advice (not the President Roosevelt of Question #1 – this was an earlier model) to speak softly, did discover the advantages of carrying a big stick. In Chapter Twenty-Six of the American edition of The Prince and Betty, which preceded the publication of Psmith, Journalist by three years, the part of (G) was played by John Maude but his final line of dialogue was "I and Theodore" rather than the "I and Roosevelt" spoken by Psmith. Its publication in 1912 coincided exactly with then ex-President Roosevelt's ill-fated attempt to return to the White House in that year's presidential election.

5. These two unlikely Comrades both felt the wrath of the beak at the Bosher Street Police Court. In the short story "Without the Option", which was first collected in Carry On, Jeeves. "Leon Trotzky", who bore a startling resemblance to Oliver Sipperley, was given thirty days without the option of a fine for assaulting a policeman. And in The Mating Season "Alfred Duff Cooper" (who might have been Augustus Fink-Nottle's twin brother, the resemblance was so uncanny) was jugged for fourteen days for hunting newts without a licence in the Trafalgar Square fountain.

Round 210 - 17 November 2004

1. This was Jeeves devising a campaign of enforced reading of Rosie M Banks books to break down Mortimer Little's sales resistance to his nephew Bingo's dream of marrying a waitress. From the short story "Jeeves in the Springtime", which also appears under the title "Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum" as Chapter One of The Inimitable Jeeves.

2. The narrator, James "Corky" Corcoran, was justifiably proud of the campaign song he penned to aid fellow Old Wrykynian BV "Boko" Lawlor's attempt to win the Redbridge parliamentary by-election. From the short story "The Long Arm of Looney Coote", which was first collected in Ukridge (US: He Rather Enjoyed It).

3. The advertisement that galvanized (B), Freddie Threepwood, in Chapter One of Leave it Psmith was placed by Psmith, who was seeking employment in any field ranging from walking-the-dog to assassinating-the-aunt, providing it didn't involve fish.

4. By an odd coincidence these three letters and many others, despite bearing a pleasing variety of signatures, were all composed by the same individual – none other than Doctor (C) himself, a certain Alexander Twist. By another odd coincidence, Doctor Twist ("Chimp" to his business associates) just happened to be the proprietor of Healthward Ho, the physical culture establishment so enthusiastically endorsed in the letters columns of the daily press. From Chapter Two of Money for Nothing.
