»How Right You Are, Jeeves

Tangled love-affairs, mistaken identities, cases of insanity, and overbearing aunts: were it not for the appearance of the coveted cow-creamer, this might be a Shakespearean comedy. This comic novel follows the tried-and-true Wodehouse formula of placing the cheerfully inept Bertie Wooster in a country-house setting, tasked by his genial agèd relative with some ridiculous social task, but bereft of his helpmeet Jeeves. Various engagements fall as Bertie ploughs through the estate, a new pair of white linen trousers meet ruin, and no mice are found in the visiting scion's bedroom, but all ends well as Jeeves, freshly-fed from his shrimping holiday, swoops in to save the day. How Right You Are, Jeeves is another diverting piece of Wodehouse.
