A collection of short stories where Bertie and his friends regularly get themselves into sticky situations, often of their own making, and Jeeves extricates said persons from aforementioned situations.
The first is set at the residence of Bertie’s formidable Aunt Agatha, and involves Bertie, his friend Bingo and Aunt Agatha’s obnoxious son young Thomas.
Then there is an odd one where Bertie cancels his trip to Monte Carlo, upsetting Jeeves. He then gets into a pickle involving Sir Roderick Glossop, and Jeeves thoroughly embarrasses him to get back. Tuppy Glossop has got himself engaged to a singer who does not like practical jokes, and Aunt Dahlia charges Bertie with breaking up that engagement.
An incident involving Aunt Agatha’s dog, and another one involving an obnoxious artist are diverting, but the one involving Bertie’s two nephews in a good-conduct contest is the funniest by far. The one that takes the cake though involves Bertie’s attempts to break up the engagement of his middle-aged uncle, Lord Yaxley, and a young waitress.
Excellent writing, as always, and a light-hearted jaunty read. Top notch stuff, don’t you know? Just what the doctor ordered and all that.
