Mulliner`s Buck-U-Uppo: (Wodehouse Pick-Me-Up)
In the Angler`s Rest, drinking hot scotch and lemon, sits one of Wodehouse`s greatest raconteurs. Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: there`s Cyril, the timid interior designer, who finds himself drunkenly playing `this little piggy` with his beloved`s formidable and angry mother`s toes – how can that possibly end well?! And then there`s Wilfred, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance… Add one of the best Jeeves and Wooster stories and you`ve got a medley of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy and comic exuberance reign supreme.
