'There are moments when a man feels he has the upper hand… and then there are the moments immediately after.'
In Scoring off Jeeves, Bertie Wooster is quietly confident that, just this once, he has managed to get the better of his otherwise infallible valet. A small victory, perhaps—but in a life so frequently guided, corrected, and discreetly improved, it feels like a triumph of historic proportions.
Naturally, this cannot possibly last.
With the usual assortment of social complications, emotional entanglements, and decisions of a distinctly Woosterian calibre, matters begin to develop in a direction that is, at best, questionable—and, at worst, entirely inevitable.
Fortunately (or otherwise), Jeeves is observing.
Calm, unruffled, and several moves ahead of everyone else, he allows events to unfold just far enough before applying his particular brand of quiet correction—restoring order with a precision that is as humbling as it is impressive. A perfectly tuned piece of Wodehouse: light, swift, and irresistibly clever. Ideal for listeners who appreciate understated wit, elegant mischief, and the delicate art of being gently—but decisively—outmaneuvered. Because when Bertie Wooster thinks he's winning… it's usually only part of Jeeves's plan.
