Some decisions are made with great seriousness. Others are made, reconsidered, revised, and ultimately regretted—usually by Bertie Wooster.
In Bertie Changes His Mind, P. G. Wodehouse explores the delicate art of mental revision under pressure. This time, however, the situation is observed with the calm detachment of Jeeves, who watches his employer's latest conviction shift with alarming speed.
Bertie's sudden enthusiasm leads him into a sequence of decisions involving unexpected responsibility and an ill-advised journey to Brighton. Each step forward generates an immediate and elegant reversal.
What follows is a familiar equilibrium: well-meaning intentions colliding softly with reality, producing consequences that no one explicitly ordered. A light, perfectly timed comedy of hesitation, where certainty is temporary, and trouble is remarkably persistent under careful supervision.
