Wodehouse is loved by Indians who loathe Kipling and detest the Raj and all its works. |
Wodehouse remained completely aloof from the tumult of the world, unable to comprehend the cads, schemers and plotters. |

His soliloquies on fate and historical accidence, delivered to an overwrought Monty Bodkin, are among the best things that Wodehouse ever wrote. |
You could, of course, write a thesis about Wodehouse but the endeavour would be like trying to preserve thistledown between sheet glass. |
