Edwin Craye

Edwin Craye is a fictional character in the novels of P.G. Wodehouse who appears in a few of the Jeeves novels of the author. Younger brother of Florence Craye, and son of Percy Craye, Earl of Worplesdon, Edwin has a propensity to do good deeds, as per his Boy Scouts motto. He is, however, always behind in these good deeds and hence is trying to catch up. He often annoys the objects of his good deeds, notably Bertie Wooster in the short story Jeeves Takes Charge. Edwin also appears in the novel Joy in the Morning causing a lot of annoyance to his sister and father due to his incessant meddling. In a memorable episode in the novel, Bertie kicks Edwin in the "seat of the pants" to make Florence despise him and remove any threat of her wanting to get engaged to him. However, this act, instead of producing the results he wants, makes Florence very happy with him, since Edwin, doing another of his good deeds, pastes her articles upside-down in her scrap-book.
