Wodehouse in Exile Page #4

---

We have received many letters

about you, Herr Wodehouse.

It seems we have a famous author

in our camp.

Well... author, anyway.

The daughter of your wife

and your American agent lead

a campaign for your release.

I don't want to be treated any

differently to anyone else.

The old school tie. The monocle.

The spats. Ja?

If you say so.

Bertie Wooster. I Agree, Jeeves!

It is a very funny book.

I don't think

I wrote a book called...

Oh. Right Ho, Jeeves!

What is this "Right Ho?"

I have read your work,

Herr Wodehouse.

The bread rolls at the Drones Club.

Lord Emsworth.

He loves his pig.

It is most amusing.

Thank you.

An American journalist

from the Associated Press wishes to

make an interview with you.

Well... I can't see

what harm that would do.

"I say, old bean.

Shall we have snorter?"

It's the start of

the show and a bit of a frost

Because all of us

are imprisoned in Tost!

Tost... Frost. Very good.

Well, you wrote it, Plum.

I had no idea I was that good.

Who gave him the typewriter?

The Lagerfuhrer. Lent to him.

He had to pay,

but... decent of him, wasn't it?

You'll get into trouble. Saying

nice things about the Germans!

Oh, for God's sake, you little tick!

Come on then, chaps.

It's the start of the show...

So how are they treating you,

Mr Wodehouse?

Well, they're not beating me

with rubber truncheons or anything.

I am being fed and so on.

Is there anything you have to say

to the American people?

I know you have many readers

in America.

Oh, gosh.

Er, tell them I'm OK.

And thanks for the food parcels.

Don't make too much of me.

May we go over to the camp

and take a few pictures?

Naturally.

Not all Germans are beasts,

you know, Mr Thuermer.

I am the only beast, I think!

That's wonderful, Mr Wodehouse.

Don't look too wonderful,

old bean, will you?

You're supposed to look beaten

and abject and cruelly mistreated.

Mr Mackintosh has a dark,

witty side to him.

Maybe we should have a picture

of you and Mr Mackintosh together.

Oh, no, no, no! No.

Are they really treating you OK?

I'm afraid they are, on the whole.

Plum's writing a book about it.

He made us all laugh with it.

Are you chaps going to

come into the war?

Nobody quite knows at the moment.

Plack.

Didn't you know

Wodehouse in Hollywood?

I did.

Some American journalist

named Thuermer managed to find out

he's interned in a civilian camp

in Tost.

He's done an interview and the

New York Times are running it.

What does he say about us?

He says we feed him.

He is quite nice.

Wodehouse is incapable of being

nasty about anyone.

He must be 60 by now.

Do we still keep aliens

in prison after 60?

We release them sometimes.
