One rule always to live by is, never make plans to save the world in secret with a drunken Elf and without Jeeves. I came to this resolution a little late, but now it is graven on my heart. …From “The Fellowship of the Woosters” by John M. Ford.
Good Lord, where do we find this gem?
Teresa, you are an evil, evil woman.
It's unpublished. I only asked permission to quote a couple of sentences because I couldn't very well ask to run the whole thing in my weblog.
Is the author trying to pub it? Or can we get from him if we ask reaaaaal nice?
I know some folks (we're the oldest Tolkein fan group in the world, since the Mythopoeics bit the dust) who would eat this up. A subgroup used to read Jeeves stories aloud and try not to crack up (in a fashion exactly NOT like Eye of Argon readings) while playing mah-jongg, of all things.
So can I get a copy pleasepleaseplease?
I didn't expect you to quote the whole thing--but it's evil all the same, so there.
(Who, me, rational? Never--at least not on this...)
Gah! As if it's not hard enough to find everything published by the esteemed Mr. Ford, now unpublished teasers mess things upp even more. Do you know if it's going to be published somewhere?
Christopher: I'm with the Jim: The Mythopoeics bit the dust? Since I'm on the Council of Stewards for the Mythopoeic Society, I would have thought someone would have told me.

Why? Why can't you ask to run the whole
thing on your weblog? Do we imagine it
would deprive him of income he would otherwise
reasonably expect on the burgeoning Woodhouse-
Tolkien pastiche market?
Or, more succinctly: wah.

Wodehouse. Of course I know how to spell
it. Personally, I blame Jane Austen.
