"Ring for Jeeves" is a novel in which Bertie Wooster is absent, and Jeeves,
on loan, makes only rare appearances.
Pages quoted below are from my current Arrow version.
The Bigger Family is mentioned by PGW as a game played by kids (pg.82),
and I've compressed and formalised it thus:
Q: Which is bigger, Mr Bigger or Mrs Bigger? (pg.82)
A: Mr.Bigger, because he's father Bigger.
Q: Which is bigger, Mr Bigger or his old maid aunt?
A: The old maid aunt, because, whatever happens, she's always Bigger.
(pg.83)
Q: Which is bigger, Mr Bigger or Master Bigger? (pg.85)
A: Master Bigger, because he's a little Bigger.
Q: Which is bigger, Captain Biggar or Mrs.Biggar? (pg.239-240)
A: Mrs. Biggar, because she became Biggar.
The last Q&A might seem to contradict the first, but PGW got around that.
