Stories
Through an unfortunate misunderstanding, Madeline comes to believe that Bertie is in love with her, but (fortunately for Bertie), she becomes engaged to his friend Gussie Fink-Nottle. When he elopes with Emerald Stoker, she renews her engagement with Bertie, before becoming affianced to Sir Roderick Spode, later 7th Earl of Sidcup.
In the ITV television series versions of the P.G. Wodehouse stories, Madeline almost marries Spode, but the attempted wedding is ruined by Tuppy Glossop's pipe clearing rust-bucket "Plumbo-Jumbo", in the series finale "The Ties That Bind".
In the third and fourth series of the ITV show Jeeves & Wooster, 1992–1993, Madeline Bassett was played by Elizabeth Morton, having been played in the first two series by Francesca Folan and Diana Blackburn respectively.

—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“I found that they knew but little of the history of their race, and could be entertained by stories about their ancestors as readily as any way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
