Gussie is upset because his fiancée Madeline Bassett was supposed to accompany him, but had to visit a friend, Hilda Gudgeon, instead.Īnother friend of Bertie's, Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright, an actor, wants to marry Gertrude. Bertie's friend Gussie Fink-Nottle will also go there. Jeeves, who knows about Deverill Hall because his uncle Charlie Silversmith is the butler there, says that Esmond Haddock, his aunt Dame Daphne Winkworth, four other aunts, and Dame Daphne's daughter Gertrude Winkworth live there. Bertie is told by Jeeves about Esmond Haddock's five aunts īertie's overbearing Aunt Agatha orders him to go to Deverill Hall, King's Deverill, Hants., to stay with some friends of hers and perform in the village concert. Reminding myself that in this life it is not aunts that matter but the courage which one brings to them, I pulled myself together. On the cue "five aunts" I had given at the knees a trifle, for the thought of being confronted with such a solid gaggle of aunts, even if those of another, was an unnerving one.
