Thanks for the suggestions, Bat Goddess. I'm always on the lookout for good authors. It's odd that you should mention Peter Wimsey. I just re-read one of his, (Strong Poison) after many years. I realize now how rich the books are in wit and personality.

BTW, in that book written in 1930, Wimsey's manservant, Bunter, says that he "endeavors to provide satisfaction," and Wimsey tells him not to sound like Jeeves!

Kaleea, I agree with you about Wodehouse. The man was master of the English sentence. I can reread his things and find witticisms and beautiful turns of phrase which I had missed before.
