"Plummie" (a schoolboy nickname) now makes do with a part-time gardener who tends his twelve beautifully kept acres, and a four-day-a-week maid who helps wife "Bunny" run a charming ten-room white-shingled house. At 76, Wodehouse still does his "getting-up" exercises at 7:30, walks three to five miles a day, keeps the two birdbaths filled...
