* DolledUpInstallment: Wodehouse would sometimes rewrite older stories and republish them as part of one of his long-running series. Several of the Mr. Mulliner stories, such as "Honeysuckle Cottage," use the FramingDevice to incorporate stories that were originally stand-alones, while Reggie Pepper, an early character who was something of a prototype for Bertie Wooster, had two of his stories republished with Bertie replacing him.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Tuckerization}}: In ''Frozen Assets'' a solicitor quotes the fictional case "Schwed versus Meredith, L.R. 3, H.L. 330". The two parties are named after Scott Meredith (Wodehouse's agent) and Peter Schwed (his American publisher).

Added DiffLines:

** The school stories occasionally take potshots at moralistic or unrealistic tropes that were common in the school stories of the time. In ''A Prefect's Uncle'', the narrator quotes a line from ''Literature/TomBrownsSchooldays'' that Tom, "with the usual liberality of young hands", let his opponents bat first -- and then contrasts the pragmatic behaviour of his own character:
---> Norris was not so liberal. He may have been young, but he was not so young as that.
