AUNTS | "Those who know Bertram Wooster best are aware that in his journey through life he is impeded and generally snookered by about as scaly a collection of aunts as was ever assembled." |
---|---|
Dahlia Travers | Aunt Dahlia (wife to Tom Travers, employer of Anatole the supreme chef); generally kind to Bertie (yet still orders him to pull stunts); used to go hunting, still speaks as if she had just sighted a fox on a hillside half a mile away |
Agatha Gregson | Aunt Agatha (Henry's sister) the canonical battle-axe, keenly aware of the existence of class distinctions, forever disappointed with Bertie in every way |
Emily Wooster | Aunt Emily (widow of Bertie's father's brother Henry Wooster) is the mother of Claude and Eustace Wooster; we don't see much of her |
LOVE INTERESTS | (sometimes with full enthusiasm, sometimes forced upon him) |
Madeline Bassett | believes in fairies; suddenly asks you out of a blue sky if you don't sometimes feel that the stars are God's daisy-chain; engaged to Gussie |
Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng | Madeline's cousin, Pop's niece; smallish girl, wants to marry Harold Pinker |
Lady Florence Craye | wanted to improve Bertie, forcing him to read Types of Ethical Theory by James Martineau, followed by Nietzsche (she has a wonderful profile, though) |
Honoria Glossop | daughter of Sir Roderick Glossop, a well-known psychiatrist: "One of those dashed large, brainy, strenuous, dynamic girls [with] the physique of a middle-weight catch-as-catch-can wrestler." |
Gwladys Pendlebury | a portrait painter (never actually seen or heard) |
Cora "Corky" Pirbright | actress; Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright's sister |
Pauline Stoker | daughter of American multi-millionaire J. Washburn Stoker |
Angela Travers | Bertie's cousin (Aunt Dahlia's daughter); engaged to Tuppy; quite a good egg |
Lady Cynthia Wickhammersley | the sort of girl who would want a fellow to carve out a career — nearly laughed herself into a permanent state of hiccoughs when Bertie proposed to her |
Roberta "Bobbie" Wickham | a redheaded girl enamoured of practical jokes |
