Mrs. Scholfield - Gwladys Pendlebury

Gwladys Pendlebury

Gwladys Pendlebury is a fictional character in a Jeeves short story, being an artist that Bertie Wooster falls in love with.

In "The Spot of Art" (1929, collected in Very Good, Jeeves, 1930), Miss Pendlebury was, in the opinion of Bertie Wooster, a dashed good artist who painted his portrait. However, he may have been biased, being in love with her, so much so that he entrusted her with the heavy task of painting his Aunt Agatha's portrait. The finished work was dismissed angrily by Aunt Agatha, and Gwladys became rather huffy with Bertie. Jeeves endeavoured to comfort his young, lovesick master by assuring him that the name Gwladys was not a particularly attractive one, on a par with Kathryn and Ethyl, all of which came about as a result of the pennings of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Bertie made one last attempt to win the hand of Gwladys, only to discover that she had gotten engaged to Lucius Pim, an artist with Gilhooly and Pim the advertising agency, and she always wanted to work in advertising.
