Didn’t know that, Lollie! Thank you!! … I’ve been working on a new tab, to be called either “His Wicket, Wicket Ways”, or, perhaps, “His Wicket, Cricket Ways”, to document Errol’s talents and experiences as a cricketer. We’ll have to be sure to get P.G. in there! (along with Boris Karloff, Elementary Watson, Sherlock Rathbone, Niv, and all his other distinguished teammates on the HCC!)
My favorite story, so far, is how C. Aubrey Smith used to get a bit perturbed because girls would crowd around Errol in the field during games. Can you believe they’d actually do that, Lollie?!?

Ask.com… will help provide the answer – even more quickly several years ago:

Hi Tim,is it –
SHEFFIELD,the name of Errol’s BUTLER? :)
The clues being – errol & Lili’s house where he worked?
Rhett BUTLER?
SHEFFIELD cabinet?
SHEFFIELD England?
And the English cricketer Percy Jeeves who author PG Wodehouse based his famous character ‘Jeeves’ on?
Errol described his butler Sheffield as -“A gift direct from P.G. Wodehouse to us”

I don’t know if you’re right or wrong, Lollie, but your powers of deduction are truly impressive.
