frequented by irrepressible raconteur Mr. Mulliner. At the beginning of each Mulliner short story, Mr. Mulliner and his companions are having a conversation in the bar-parlour that touches on a variety of topics, often unconnected to the previous one. As one patron put it in " Archibald and the Masses": "We range. We flit. We leap from point to point. As an erudite Gin and Angostura once put it, we are like Caesar's wife, ready for anything." The conversations lead Mr. Mulliner to have a recollection of a similar event introducing some new members of the very large Mulliner family. The story then leaves the pub to enter into the narrator's world. The landlord of The Angler's Rest is named Ernest Biggs (" The Juice of an Orange"), and his amiable barmaid is named Miss Postlethwaite, who is never given a first name even though she appears in most of the stories. She is a romantic type fond of motion picture and romance novels, described as "erudite" and "sensitive." Every Sunday afternoon, she retires to her room with a box of caramels and a novel from the circulating library, and on the following night, she places the results of her reading in front of the habitués of the Angler's Rest and invites their judgment (" The Castaways"). The Angler's Rest takes in residents for longer stay, as in " Unpleasantness at Bludleigh Court", it is mentioned a poet is spending the summer at the place. Across from the bar-parlour there is a larger room where they sometimes give smoking-concerts (" The Knightly Quest of Mervyn"). The Angler's Rest is located in a small English town, the name of which is never given. Some details given are that there is a High Street with a Bon Ton Drapery Stores, whose efficient sales assistant is named Alfred Lukyn (" The Story of Cedric"), and a cinema named the Bijou Dream (" A Slice of Life", " The Nodder" and " The Rise of Minna Nordstrom"). The village also contains a resident doctor (" The Truth About George") and a church (" Anselm Gets His Chance"), with its inevitable Choral Society (" Mulliner's Buck-U-Uppo"). About a mile or two up the river from the Angler's Rest stands an ancient and historic public school (" The Voice from the Past"). The neighborhood also includes a golf course (" Those in Peril on the Tee"), and also a racecourse (" Gala Night"). Mr. Mulliner's pub companions never have a real name but are named after the beverage they are drinking. Mr. Mulliner's own signature beverage is a hot Scotch and lemon. Here is a list of some of these names: * Gin-and-Ginger-Ale * Draught Stout * Small Bass * Double-Whisky-and-Splash * Lemon Squash * Tankard of Ale * Pint of Stout * Pint of Bitter * Pint of Half-and-Half * Whisky Sour * Mild and Bitter * Stout and Bitter * Rum and Milk * Sherry and Bitters * Gin and Angostura * Lemonade and Angostura * Port from the Wood * Eggnog

New Asiatic Bank

A fictional organisation, the austere and serious New Asiatic is run by John Bickersdyke. Former employees include Mike Jackson and Psmith, employed there for a spell in '' Psmith in the City''. It has the atmosphere of a public school, with the heads of department as autocratic as masters - the Postage Dept. is run by Mr Rossiter, the Cash Dept. by Mr Waller, and the Fixed Deposits Department by a Mr Gregory. The London branch is seen as something of a training ground for new blood - once a period of probation has been completed, most employees head out East. At some point, the bank was successfully robbed of around two million dollars' worth of transferable bonds, by a man by the name of Edward Finglass, a friend of Alexander "Chimp" Twist and Thomas "Soapy" Molloy; though Finglass escaped, his haul was eventually recovered, thanks to Sam Shotter, in '' Sam the Sudden''. On another occasion, a Mr John Benyon robbed the bank of $100,000, according to a story in The Man with Two Left Feet. The bank is perhaps inspired by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, where Wodehouse himself worked for a time before his writing career took off, and is mentioned in passing in many other stories and novels. It is described in the chapter 4 of ''Psmith in the City'' that the London branch of the New Asiatic Bank is situated somewhere around the Mansion House and Queen Victoria St in the City of London.

Pelican Club

A riotous

back in the 1890s, the Pelican was that happy era's equivalent to the Drones. Galahad Threepwood and Uncle Fred were both prominent and popular members; others include "Dogface" Weeks, champion liar, and Galahad's friends "Plug" Basham and "Puffy" Benger. The club was a real gentlemen's club of the era from 1887–1892.

Pen and Ink Club

The Pen and Ink Club is a fictional club for writers referenced in several stories, including the 1916 novel '' Uneasy Money'' (chapter 2) and the 1961 novel ''

'' (chapter 10), as well as the short story " Mr Potter Takes a Rest Cure". Ukridge's Aunt Julia is president of the club, and it is featured in several Ukridge stories such as " Ukridge Sees Her Through". Rosie M. Banks appears to be a member, since she attends the club's annual dinner in the Drones Club story " Leave it to Algy". Wodehouse may have drawn inspiration for the club from the Authors' Club, since he played cricket for its associated cricket team, the Authors XI. According to Wodehouse scholar Norman Murphy, the writers association

PEN International PEN International (known as International PEN until 2010) is a worldwide professional association, association of writers, founded in London in 1921 to promote friendship and intellectual co-operation among writers everywhere. The association ...

may have been a source of inspiration for the club. Wodehouse references this organization in his 1971 novel '' The Girl in Blue'', in which amateur poet Homer Pyle attends a PEN conference in Brussels. The first PEN Club was founded in London in 1921; the Pen and Ink Club debuted before this in ''Uneasy Money'' but is developed further in later appearances.
