Leave it to Jeeves

I needed a palette cleanser after reading a pretty heavy book about death and dying. This short comedy fit the bill. 

Wooster knows that listening to Jeeves will always pay off in the end, so when his friend, Corky, finds himself in a bit of a bind and seeks Wooster’s help, Wooster doesn’t hesitate to bring Jeeves into the conversation. 

Jeeves’s plan to help Corky is played out, but it backfires on old Corky. Not to worry. Jeeve finds a better way out, and it leaves Corky in much better shape than if Plan A had panned out. Wooster knows how lucky he is to have Jeeves by his side and knows that things will always be okay with Jeeves there:

“I agree with Shakespeare and the poet Johnnies about it always being darkest before the dawn and there’s a silver lining and what you lose in the swings you make up on the roundabouts.”

I haven’t read Wodehouse’s work in a long while, but I’ll definitely be seeking out his work whenever I need a bit of a mood booster or quick read.
