Agatha Wooster (sister of Dahlia, George Wooster [Lord
Yaxley], and Bertie's late father), human snapping turtle who
has savaged Bertie incessantly from childhood up, living at
Woollam Chersey, Herts, and married to Spenser Gregson in
Extricating Young Gussie (where her family name is Mannering-Phipps) and
stories of the twenties (in Without the Option and Helping Freddie she is called Mrs.
Spenser); by The Code of the Woosters he is "the late" Spenser Gregson. Her
son Thomas Gregson, a pestilential schoolboy, is under Bingo
Little's tutelage in Jeeves and the Impending Doom. Marries Lord Worplesdon about
eighteen months before Joy in the Morning; lives with him in Steeple
Bumpleigh, Essex in Joy in the Morning, The Mating Season, and thereafter. Kills rats
with her teeth, devours her young, eats broken bottles, and
turns into a werewolf at the time of the full moon. Tall and
thin, about 5' 9" topped off with a beaky nose, an eagle eye,
and a lot of grey hair, looks rather like a vulture in the Gobi
desert. Cold and haughty, though presumably she unbends a
bit when conducting human sacrifices at the time of the full
moon, as she is widely rumored to do. Doesn't like Jeeves.
