Bingo and the Little Woman

"Bingo and the Little Woman" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves.

The story was published in The Strand Magazine in London in November 1922, and then in Cosmopolitan in New York in December 1922.

[1] In the story, Bingo Little, who wishes to marry a waitress and wants his uncle's approval, asks Bertie to once again pretend to be the romance novelist Rosie M. Banks.

Bingo tells Bertie to send Bittlesham an autographed copy of Rosie M. Banks's most recent novel, The Woman Who Braved All.

Having greatly enjoyed the book, Lord Bittlesham listens to Bertie and agrees to restore Bingo's allowance.

As he leaves, Bertie tells Bingo and his wife, who are waiting outside the room, that they can talk to Lord Bittlesham now.

Bingo got the nerve specialist Sir Roderick Glossop, who has had several bizarre run-ins with Bertie, to verify this claim.

[4] There are some differences in plot, including: This story, along with the rest of The Inimitable Jeeves, was adapted into a radio drama in 1973 as part of the series What Ho!
