Quotes fun

I'm putting together a massive Wodehouse Quotes database at the moment (purely for my own pleasure, of course, but then why not?)

Since it'll take me an age on my own, I thought perhaps people might like to contribute their favourite passages/descriptions/bits of dialogue et cetera? I stand with open arms to receive them!

Um. *looks at her own huge quote file*

Are you sure you want this? It's pretty massive.

[stargazy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, go for it. Wodehouse quotes make me happy.

[tootsiemuppet.livejournal.com]

Well, I couldn't possibly fit it all on here so...

Ahem. ^^; I warned you.

[stargazy.livejournal.com]

Wow.

*left speechless*

That is one amazing collection of quotes.

You have made me very happy indeed.

[tootsiemuppet.livejournal.com]

:D Good.

*smug... and kind of embarrassed*

*L* Sorry for the length of it.

This is rather long, but so good..."Right Ho, Jeeves"

“Well, I'm glad you're feeling braced,” I said.

He moved buoyantly from the wash-hand stand, and endeavoured to slosh me on the back again. Foiled by my nimble footwork, he staggered to the bed and sat down upon it.

“Braced? Did I say I could bite a tiger?”

“You did.”

“Make it two tigers. I could chew holes in a steel door. What an ass you must have thought me out there in the garden. I see now you were laughing in your sleeve.”

“No, no.”

“Yes,” insisted Gussie. “That very sleeve,” he said, pointing. “And I don't blame you. I can't imagine why I made all that fuss about a potty job like distributing prizes at a rotten little country grammar school. Can you imagine, Bertie?”

"No."

“Exactly. Nor can I imagine. There's simply nothing to it. I just shin up on the platform, drop a few gracious words, hand the little blighters their prizes, and hop down again, admired by all. Not a suggestion of split trousers from start to finish. I mean, why should anybody split his trousers? I can't imagine. Can you imagine?”

“No.”

“Nor can I imagine. I shall be a riot. I know just the sort of stuff that's needed—simple, manly, optimistic stuff straight from the shoulder. This shoulder,” said Gussie, tapping. “Why I was so nervous this morning I can't imagine. For anything simpler than distributing a few footling books to a bunch of grimy-faced kids I can't imagine. Still, for some reason I can't imagine, I was feeling a little nervous, but now I feel fine, Bertie—fine, fine, fine—and I say this to you as an old friend. Because that's what you are, old man, when all the smoke has cleared away—an old friend. I don't think I've ever met an older friend. How long have you been an old friend of mine, Bertie?”

“Oh, years and years.”

“Imagine! Though, of course, there must have been a time when you were a new friend.... Hullo, the luncheon gong. Come on, old friend.”

And, rising from the bed like a performing flea, he made for the door.

I followed rather pensively. What had occurred was, of course, so much velvet, as you might say. I mean, I had wanted a braced Fink-Nottle— indeed, all my plans had had a braced Fink-Nottle as their end and aim
—but I found myself wondering a little whether the Fink-Nottle now sliding down the banister wasn't, perhaps, a shade too braced. His demeanour seemed to me that of a man who might quite easily throw bread about at lunch."

Oh, yes. That goes in, no question!

"Though, of course, there must have been a time when you were a new friend."

"I was amazed. When I was a child, my nurse told me that there was One who was always besides me, spying out all my ways, and that if I refused to eat my spinach I would hear about it on Judgement Day, but it never occured to me that she was referring to Orlo Porter."

"You have many faults, of course. I shall be pointing some of them out when I am at leisure."

(Both quotes are from "Aunts aren't Gentlemen")

I really have to read that book.

Both going in! Thanks!

Here's my collection of quotes from Jeeves in the Offing. Hope it helps.

Ok, I'm not sure of the book, but I think its 'What ho, Jeeves' when Stiffy asks
'Bertie, could one kiss Jeeves?'
'Certainly not!'
Thats not all of it but I had to give the book back to the library. Look it up, its so cute and slashy!
