Percy Gorringe
Percy Gorringe is a fictional character in a Jeeves novel, being a side-whiskered poet and writer, the stepson of newspaper owner Mr Trotter and the son of Mrs Trotter.
In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (1954), Percy was at Aunt Dahlia's country house Brinkley Court, in tow of the Trotters here to buy Dahlia's journal. He was intent on producing Florence Craye's well-received book Spindrift as a play, if only he could find the money – having unsuccessfully tried to touch Bertie Wooster for a thousand pounds. In love with Florence, he was brooding Hamlet-like because she was engaged to Stilton Cheesewright, and Bertie was convoked to cheer him up. To fight the oafish Stilton, Percy wrote his idea of a scathing poem, "Caliban at Sunset". He is also revealed as the author of pulpish mystery novels under the pen name "Rex West", which Bertie adores. At some point, he thinks he's also competing with Bertie for Florence. After both Stilton and Bertie dumped her, Florence realized she loved Percy.
In Much Obliged, Jeeves (1971), we learn that Percy's stage production was a flop and that Florence dumped him in favor of Ginger Winship.
