Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge ( ) is a fictional character from the short stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse. Ukridge is a schemer who will do anything to increase his funding—except, of course, work. An alert and creative opportunist, he makes sure that no kindness shown to him, however small, will go unexploited for financial gain. Though Ukridge never achieved the gigantic popularity of the same author's Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse retained a certain fondness for him, his last appearance in a Wodehouse story being as late as 1966. With completed new stories appearing over a span of 60 years, he is in fact the longest-running of Wodehouse's characters, topping Jeeves and Wooster (1915–1974, or 59 years) and the denizens of Blandings Castle (1915–1969, or 54 years). == Appearances == He appears in the following stories: * ''Love Among the Chickens'' (1906), a novel about Ukridge, revised in 1921 * All 10 stories in the omnibus ''Ukridge'' (1924) (also published as ''He Rather Enjoyed It'') * "Ukridge and the Home from Home", "The Come-back of Battling Billson", and "The Level Business Head", which all appear in ''Lord Emsworth and Others'' (1937) * "A Bit of Luck for Mabel", "Buttercup Day" and "Ukridge and the Old Stepper", collected in ''Eggs, Beans and Crumpets'' (1940) * "Success Story" from the collection ''Nothing Serious'' (1950) * "A Tithe for Charity" from ''A Few Quick Ones'' (1959) * "Ukridge Starts a Bank Account" from ''Plum Pie'' (1966) 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「Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
