Which is rather unfair Their opposite personalities grate on each other Mr Brewster should thank Archie because Archie is likable than Lucille s brother Bill who falls in and out of love with unsuitable women and doesn t seem to have a job Archie s adventures are amusing and I felt like I was getting whiplash trying to keep up with the rapid fire dialogue There s also a lot of 1920s slang to try to figure out I love that Some of the episodes end without being concluded and I felt like I was missing something but the plot threads pick up again later I was glad those plots were concluded It doesn t read as much like a book of short stories that way There s not much I can say about this book because it s very typically Wodehousian If you like Bertie Wooster.

Book Indiscretions of archie's Best known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical comedies He worked with Cole Porter on the musical Anything Goes 1934 and frequently collaborated with Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton He wrote the lyrics for the hit song Bill in Kern s Show Boat 1927 wrote the lyrics for the Gershwin Romberg musical Rosalie 1928 and collaborated with Rudolf Friml on a musical version of The Three Musketeers 1928 site_link It wasn t Archie s fault really It s true he went to America and fell in love with Lucille the daughter of a millionaire hotel proprietor and if he did marry her well what else was there to do From his point of view the whole thing was a thoroughly good egg but Mr Brewster his father in law thought differently Archie had neither money nor occupation which was distasteful in the eyes of the industrious Mr Brewster but the real bar was the fact that he had once adversely criticised one of his hotels Archie does his best to heal the breach but being something of an ass genus priceless he finds it almost beyond his powers to placate the man eating fish whom Providence has given him as a father in law Indiscretions of Archie3 stars Archie isn t as fun as Bertie but in the same vein Instead of Jeeves Archie has his wife Lucille to look out for him Fun fast read but if you haven t read any Wodehouse before I d suggest starting with either a Jeeves book I particularly like The Code of the Woosters or a Blandings book Something Fresh is v good and is the first in the series Fiction Humor Music This is my favorite non Jeeves Wodehouse book It is literary champagne like all Wodehouse books but it s happier than most which is really saying something. Book Indiscretions of archie sonic The story deals with Archie a young man who finds out after a hasty wedding to a beautiful girl that his new bride comes complete with a huge pile of money and a terrifying father who hates him. Book Indiscretions of archie sonic What sets this apart for me is the basic sweetness of the underlying love story Jeeves stories take a very cynical view of marriage with Bertie Wooster constantly getting accidentally engaged to a variety of overbearing and emmasculating women Archie s marriage is the healthiest and most affectionate sort of partnership portrayed with the rare earnestness at which Wodehouse excels Fiction Humor Music Well done old boy simply marvellous Fiction Humor Music Archie Moffam pronounced moom is a brainless English chappie bunged out of the family home after being demobbed They want him to get a job or something While looking for work in New York he stays at the Cosmopolis Hotel owned and managed by one Mr Daniel Brewster Archie s stay is marred by a drain that goes drip drip drip and the lack of service in regards to his dirty shoes Mr Brewster prides himself on a top notch hotel and has never NEVER in all his days heard a complaint The hotel detective is pleased to pitch Artie out and the antagonists are pleased never to see one another again Or so they think Mr Brewster s other pride and joy besides the hotel is his daughter Lucille While on a trip to Miami Lucille meets dearest Archie and marries him ARCHIE It can t possibly be the same chap can it Unfortunately for Mr Brewster his nemesis returns as his son in law to sponge off him probably forever Egads Archie wants to spread sweetness and light wherever he goes so he agrees to let bygones be bygones for the sake of his beloved Lucille but Mr Brewster is not pleased to have a moocher in the family What can Archie do to please his father in law This story is a series of episodes not so much about indescretions but about miscommunication misadventures and mishaps Archie is a brainless upper class gent in the vein of Bertie Wooster and the Drones Club Like Uncle Fred his goal is to spread sweetness and light but he just can t seem to get the hang of it At first I found Archie annoying another useless brainless artistocrat I thought Then I got used to him He means well he really really does His heart is in the right place but his methods often leave a lot to be desired Unlike Bertie he doesn t have a Jeeves to get him out of trouble Unlike some of the Drones Club fellows he WANTS to work but doesn t really have the get up and go He s not cut out for anything much Archie is brave loyal and when he wants to be clever There s no denying he adores Lucille and truly is perplexed why her father can t bring himself to love Archie Lucille is a bit simple Her character doesn t have a lot of depth Lucille is loving and loyal like Archie and when she wants to put her brain to it she comes up with some clever solutions They re a well matched pair because they re so much alike Neither expects the other to change or be something they re not Daniel Brewster is your typical Wodehousian choleric older businessman He s shrewd than Bingo Little s boss and forgiving in spite of his blustering He wants his daughter to be happy AND independent He sees Archie as a loafer and a moocher Freddie Threepwood Bingo Little Monty Bodkin and the rest of the Drones Club you will probably enjoy this book too It s a nice easy read and so funny too It will take your mind of the news This book is not taxing and can be put down and picked up again when the mood strikes I m glad I picked this one up at the library Fiction Humor Music Positively delightful I was hooked on this very amusing spoof of a struggle for acceptance Archie a well educated but rather feather brain Englishman comes to New York to seek his fortune as after looking he failed to find it in England He marries a New York socialite Lucille Brewster and she brings her new husband home to meet her father He sees Archie as an unscrupulous gold digging foreigner but doesn t want to disappoint or alienated his daughter so he agrees to give him a suite in his hotel and keeps a good eye on him Archie s even temper good cheer and innocence can t help but endear him to the reader I just loved the never ending supply of non words Archie uses to describe things people or places he has either forgotten or doesn t understand Archie The good egg I wish him well I laughed out loud so that should count for something Fiction Humor Music

Finished 2 Jan 2012 This is a perfect book for reading one chapter at a time perhaps before bedtime It was originally bunches of short stories that were combined into a book Archie seems to get out of scraps and make everyone like himeveryone but his dear old fatherinlaw And all his attempts to change this only make things worse PS Lucille his wifey though playing a smaller part is quite wonderful Fiction Humor Music At first this one seemed slightly tedious and indeed it is fairly episodic But in the end I really warmed up to Archie Moffam pronounced moom co The ending is cliche but so unexpected that it s a charming way to wrap up the story. Book Indiscretions of archie bunker It wasn t until this novel that I realized part of why Waugh must have loved Wodehouse so well other than his impeccable prose style The part of Waugh that liked things to go wrong must of course have delighted in the cycle of peril scheme frustration and peril anew Fiction Humor Music A bit of silliness and froth Episodic Not as good as his best but a pleasant way to pass the time Fiction Humor Music 4.
