I love the way Wodehouse uses narrator Bertie Wooster to describe outrageous situations in a deadpan way. Review 2: Well-written humor is very hard to find. This also allows Wodehouse to reprise (repeat?) his old joke from "Comrade Bingo" from the early 1920s, in which he so nicely skewers the pretensions and absurdities of radical communist groups, in describing the Man servant sprinting down ParkLane with a blood dripping knife murdering the bourgeoisie. I enjoyed the new butlers likely communist sympathies "at lead the could be cheerful about it while he plans my murder" or words to that effect muses Bertie.
Bertie has thrown himself into learning the banjolele much to Jeeves' dismay.
