Talk:Bertie Wooster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes, Bertie's family is filthy rich. However, Bertie does not have to rely on an allowance from his Aunt Agatha. Rather, as stated in several places in the stories, Aunt Agatha's hold is only her innate dominance and fierceness. Bertie states categorically that she does not hold purse strings.

[edit] Bertie's Family
I'm not totally certain about the family as currently stated in the article. I was given to understand that Tom Travers is Bertie's uncle by blood (the brother of his mother, née Travers), and so Aunt Dahlia is his aunt by marriage. I'm also under the impression that Aunt Agatha was the sister of Bertie's father, though I'm not so sure about this latter point. Has anyone got anything to dismiss/corroborate these ideas?

Isn't it redundant to say "Aunt Agatha ... considers him a spineless invertebrate", or does this phrase come from Wodehouse?
[edit] Lord Yaxley
What of Bertie's uncle George Wooster, later Lord Yaxley? Where does he fit in?
[edit] Jeeves
In the section "Jeeves", it is stated that Bertie hires Jeeves when he is 24. This is unclear. Was Jeeves 24, or Bertie? Xiong Chiamiov 19:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quick note on my revert
Just to say - I meant all very POV, of course. Anyhow- very debatable. Schissel | Sound the Note! 16:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
