Honoria Glossop is a particularly formidable young lady from the Jeeves stories by P. G. Wodehouse. She is of a rather muscular, sporty temperament, and as such remains unattached. Honoria is the daughter of the renowned nerve specialist Sir Roderick Glossop and his wife Lady Glossop and Bertie Wooster once described her voice as "like a lion tamer making some authoritative announcement to one of the troupe".〔(''The Jeeves Omnibus'' Vol. 2 ) P.G. Wodehouse, Random House, 2012, p. 543.〕 She is portrayed in the TV series Jeeves and Wooster by Elizabeth Kettle. ==Relationships== Honoria was on many occasions in the stories engaged to Bertie Wooster, something which he, when it came to mind, disliked very much, especially as she persisted in trying to 'Improve his mind' with the aid of several books on famous philosophers. However, he managed to shake her off by outraging her parents, thanks to the aid of his valet, Jeeves, whom she dislikes intensely. Since then, she held a torch for Bertie, and he does his best to keep as far away from her as possible. In ''Jeeves and the Greasy Bird'', Honoria Glossop becomes engaged to a young modern novelist called Blair Eggelston and it looks as if Bertie is finally safe from her. Her braying laugh is a noteworthy feature mentioned in several books, usually in elaborate similes such as "a laugh that sounded like a squadron of cavalry charging across a tin bridge." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honoria Glossop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
