He was aware of human nature, particularly that of gliding youth.Whether Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace were playing dido or the hope of an old house had fallen in love with a waitress, Jeeves never let anyone down. He had a good mind.Jeeves was a purist, therefore the only area in which he fell short in the eyes of his master was his inability to constantly follow him in matters involving spats, socks, and ties. This was especially true in the Spring.

Without crossing the meadow, a mob gathers to hurl eggs and other objects at the guards from a distance. To settle the conflict, Gessler shoots the hat at the pole.Gessler gives Tell the directive to shoot an apple from a distance of 100 yards off of his son's head.

'Joy in the Morning' is another novel from the wonderful series of books about Bertram Wooster and Jeeves by English humorist P.G. Wodehouse. It was first published in 1946. The novel was concluded amid the horrors of wartime Germany, and was something of a miracle, "The supreme Jeeves novel of all time." Bertie is a young gentleman of inherited means and no present occupation. He is a good-humored and well-meant chap, however, is clearly not the smartest tool in the shed. Bertie seems to have a talent for getting himself into trouble but that is where Jeeves, his loyal, educated and painfully clever butler comes to his rescue. Jeeves is irreplaceable when it comes to saving Bertie from whatever creative, complicated, and incredibly funny situations Wodehouse puts his characters through.

First published in 1925, "Carry On, Jeeves" is P. G. Wodehouse's third collection of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster stories. All of the stories included in this volume first appeared in periodicals like the "Saturday Evening Post" including some that are reworked versions of stories that appeared in the 1919 collection "My Man Jeeves". In this volume, readers will find some of Wodehouse's most famous tales of the hapless and wealthy Bertie, his equally clueless friends, and his wise and pragmatic valet, Jeeves. The first story in the book, "Jeeves Takes Charge", introduces Jeeves to Bertie's life when he replaces his previous valet, who had been stealing from him. Many of the stories take place in New York and familiar characters, such as Aunt Dahlia, Bingo Little, Anatole, and Sir Roderick Glossop, make appearances in this collection.

Jeeves, with his complicated plans and ability to solve seemingly any problem, is at his plucky best in this classic collection of Wodehouse stories. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
