There Bertie runs into his former fiancée Florence Craye, the jealous policeman Stilton Cheesewright and his friend Boko Fittleworth, who hopes to marry Worplesdon's ward. Jeeves has to untangle their romances, a business deal Worplesdon is trying to keep secret and a fancy-dress ball.

• Fareed Zakaria: “P. G. Wodehouse. I’ve read almost everything he wrote. He once explained that there were two ways of writing novels. “One is mine, making the thing a sort of musical comedy without music, ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right down deep into life and not caring a damn.” He did the former better than almost anyone.”
