Hey, I'm David Kern.

I'm Heidi White.

And I'm Sean Johnson.

And you are listening to Close Reads, it's a podcast for the Incurable Reader on which we are discussing P.G. Woodhouse's novel, Summer Lightning.

This is our final episode on this book before we get into The Warden next week by Anthony Trollope, which is a good name, by the way.

Trollope sounds like it should be a name in a Woodhouse novel.

It does sound like a Woodhouse name.

Yeah.

It should be like the pig, the pig keeper.

They're not the same.

Which maybe just means that Woodhouse is just, you know, doing a send-up of traditional English culture.

That's true.

So it's just close enough to be taken just a little bit seriously while we also laugh at it.

We're going to answer your questions today.

First, we're going to talk about the end.

We didn't do that last week.

Sean, do you want to do you want to do a quick summary of the ending?

Do you remember it?

Well, the romances untangle themselves mostly.

The unlikable chaps get chased out of the house and the pig returns home.

Perfect.

You nailed.
