Those familiar with more than a few Wodehouse stories will find the following assessment of Ukridge and Psmith fascinating.
“Loosed upon society, Ukridge attacks life like a juvenile delinquent with a hammer who has broken into the Queen’s Dolls’ House. Psmith, indulgent if patronising, regards the world as created for his amusement, and patiently adjusts it where it falls short of his standards.”
R.B.D. French in P.G. Wodehouse (1968), p.37
