[1] In the story, Tuppy Glossop falls for the athletic Miss Dalgleish, and endures a rough match of rugby football to win her over.

Bertie's Aunt Dahlia wants Tuppy to lose interest in Miss Dalgleish and reunite with her daughter, Angela Travers.

He is then visited by his Aunt Dahlia, who has heard that her daughter Angela's on-and-off fiancé Tuppy is flirting with an athletic girl named Miss Dalgleish who lives near Bleaching.

Jeeves informs Bertie that the match, which pits two feuding villages, Upper Bleaching and Hockley-cum-Meston, against each other, is traditionally violent.

Bertie asks Jeeves to go to London and send a telegram, signed by his aunt, which says that Angela is seriously ill and keeps calling for Tuppy.

Until this moment, if asked, I would have said that Tuppy Glossop was, on the whole, essentially a pacific sort of bloke, with little or nothing of the tiger of the jungle in him.

Some erudite phrases introduced by Jeeves, such as "a remote contingency" or "the psychology of the individual", become motifs and are repeated later in humorous ways by Bertie.

One such phrase is "the mot juste", which is first used by Jeeves in "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy" and is repeated in all the novels up to The Mating Season.

Their collaboration is emphasized when Bertie figures out Jeeves's offstage activities in a way usually reserved for the reader: I gave him the eye.

""Yes, Jeeves, the moment Mr Glossop told me that a Mysterious Voice had phoned on the subject of Irish water-spaniels, I thought as much.

[7]Wodehouse ultimately wrote the following passage in "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy" in which Bertie tries to describe rugby football: I know that the main scheme is to work the ball down the field somehow and deposit it over the line at the other end, and that, in order to squelch this programme, each side is allowed to put in a certain amount of assault and battery and do things to its fellow man which, if done elsewhere, would result in fourteen days without the option, coupled with some strong remarks from the Bench.

[9] "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy" was featured in the 1958 collection Selected Stories by P. G. Wodehouse, published by The Modern Library.

[12] There are some changes in plot, including: "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy" was adapted into a radio drama in 1976 as part of the series What Ho!
