Welcome to Raven's Readings. This is the second half of Chapter 13 of The Inimitable Jeeves, a collection of short stories written by P.G. Wodehouse in 1923. Jeeves, a valet, and his employer Bertie Wooster, are all characters in dozens of these little vignettes. The stores are all told from the point of view of Bertie. When we left off all were in the midst of setting up a betting pool based on sermon lengths in the surrounding hamlets. Odds have collapsed on the favourite of Bertie and his friends, after others discovered he was a ringer. They have a Plan B. Jeeves has declined to get involved. Oh, and Bingo was in love again from afar, with a Lady Cynthia.
