# Crowned Heads Katie — Short Fiction character guide

> Crowned Heads Katie in Short Fiction by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** major

**Also known as:** Katie, Kate, Kitty

**First appearance:** 0000-when-papa-swore-in-hindustani

## Snapshot

A dancer who will do anything for Andy if asked properly, but refuses to be ordered about by a pigheaded young mule.

## Who they are

Katie, called Kitty by some and Crowned Heads Katie by the papers, walks out on Andy when he shoves his jaw out instead of asking, and takes London by storm in The Rose Girl. Her success is real, her pictures are everywhere, and her breezy return to MacFarland's as a taxicab celebrity shows a woman who has outgrown the man who let her go. Her rise gives the story its sharpest measure of what Andy has thrown away.
