# Honoria Glossop — Jeeves Stories character guide

> Honoria Glossop in Jeeves Stories by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Miss Glossop, the Glossop, Miss Honoria Glossop

**First appearance:** 0005-jeeves-takes-charge

## Snapshot

Sir Roderick's formidable daughter, a woman of iron will whose brief engagement to Bertie Wooster nearly cost him his beloved valet.

## Who they are

Honoria Glossop is the sort of forceful, purposeful woman who, once engaged to Bertie, immediately sets about reorganising his life—beginning with the dismissal of Jeeves. Her father, the nerve specialist Sir Roderick, is cautiously vetting Bertie's sanity before permitting the match, which only intensifies the pressure. Honoria matters because she represents the precise kind of matrimonial doom Bertie spends the early stories dodging, and her brisk, unshakeable confidence makes her a genuinely alarming prospect.
