Hildebrand or Tuppy Glossop, nephew of Sir Roderick in
Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit,
Jeeves and the Song of Songs,
The Ordeal of Young Tuppy,
Right Ho, Jeeves, and Much Obliged, Jeeves,
a friend of Bertie Wooster's
since boyhood who was at Magdalen with him. Frequently
mentioned as the fellow Drone who bet Bertie he couldn't
swing himself across the swimming pool at the Drones by the
rings and looped back the last ring, giving Bertie no option
but to drop into the water in faultless evening dress (some
time prior to the action of Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit).
In Jeeves and the Song of Songs as a result of
singing "Sonny Boy" at the Oddfellows' Hall in Bermondsey
East he drops his courtship of Cora Bellinger and takes up
again with Angela Travers, Aunt Dahlia's daughter. Still
betrothed to Angela in The Ordeal of Young Tuppy,
Right Ho, Jeeves and Much Obliged, Jeeves. His late
father invented a headache cure marketed as Runkle's Magic
Midgets, which has earned huge profits for Runkle Enterprises.
An Old Austinian who still plays football; light hair,
a Cheshire-cat grin, a high, squeaky voice, in build and
appearance somewhat resembling a bulldog.
