A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Wodehouse revisits favourite places and characters in this gentle late comedy of crossed wires, pining lovers and overbearing dowagers. In possession of a mansion but no money to keep it up or marry his sweetheart, Sandy Callender, Sam Bagshott turns to Galahad Threepwood for assistance. So what could be more natural than for Galahad to help by smuggling Sam under an assumed name into Blandings Castle, where Sandy just happens to be working as Lord Emsworth's secretary? Lord Emsworth, meanwhile, is fighting off the attentions of the forbidding Dame Daphne Winkworth whom his bossy sister, Hermione Wedge, wants him to marry. In the end, Lord Emsworth escapes the doom of matrimony and Sam gets his girl, but only after a delightful tangle of Wodehousian muddles and misunderstandings.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Sam Bagshott, son of the late Boko Bagshott, had been at Blandings Castle only a short while, but long enough to know that anyone enjoying its hospitality must get the occasional shock. Sam braced himself as the possibilities flitted through his mind. The house was on fire? The Empress of Blandings had taken to the bottle again? Constable Evans had arrived with a search warrant? There was a wide area of speculation, and he was prepared for bad news in any form. In any form, that is to say, except the one in which it came.
