How wonderful, on the day after Christmas, to sit in a comfortable chair near the lighted tree, take up a volume of Wodehouse received as a gift from one's spouse, and find that the title of the first story is "The Custody of the Pumpkin."
It was as good as the title suggests. "Lord Emsworth could conceive of no way in which Freddie could be of value to a dog-biscuit firm, except possibly as a taster..."
That sounds so happy-making.

I love the way that TypePad has abbreviated this title. It ought to be a song title.

It was very happy-making. And you're right about the title. Up through the word "chair" it has a nice trimeter rhythm.
