Angela Travers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angela Travers is a fictional character in P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories. She is the cousin of Bertie Wooster, the daughter of his aunt Dahlia and her husband Tom Travers. She is engaged to be married to Tuppy Glossop in the novel, Right Ho, Jeeves. Angela breaks her engagement to Tuppy when he refuses to believe that she was nearly attacked by a shark while on vacation. Bertie and Angela are very close friends, having grown up together. This fact makes her fiance Tuppy very jealous and causes him to believe that Bertie is trying to steal her from him, when she breaks the engagement. This leads Bertie to confess to Tuppy that he has proposed to and been turned down by Madeline Bassett very recently. Tuppy, after verifying this statement with Madeline, transfers his suspicions to Gussie Fink-Nottle, who proceeds to solidify these suspicions by getting engaged to Angela. However, Angela reconciles with Tuppy at the end of the novel, when Bertie causes the house party to be stranded outside Brinkley Manor by ringing the fire bell. When Jeeves sends Bertie on a fool's errand to retrieve a key to the Manor causing him to cycle nine miles on dark roads, the ensuing mirth when Jeeves discovers the key in his pocket, causes Angela to forgive Tuppy for his insensitive remarks on her shark.
However, in spite of being engaged for two years, Angela and Tuppy are still not married in the beginning of the novel, Much Obliged, Jeeves. Her mother, Dahlia takes matters into her own hands to ensure that Tuppy gets the money rightfully owed to his late father, so he can marry Angela. At the conclusion of the book, Jeeves handles matters with his usual elan to ensure that Tuppy gets his money and can marry Angela.
