Eleven short stories. Jeeves saves Bertie from being secretary to a cabinet minister, and saves both from a nesting swan on a lake-isle in a rainstorm. He destroys an offensive vase that Bertie has bought, and takes away an offensive suit of plus-fours new from his tailors. He knocks out Oliver Sipperley with a putter to the back of the head, annuls Bertie's love for Bobbie Wickham, ditto for Gwladys Pendlebury, rescues Bingo Little and Tuppy Glossop twice each, and saves Bertie's Uncle George from a mésalliance.

We're into the long floruit period of Wodehouse's enormous output - every story a winner. In this lot, if Bertie's worst predicament was the cabinet minister and the swan, his next worst was having, on his Aunt Agatha's orders, to go to East Dulwich to buy off a young girl at whose feet foolish old Uncle George was throwing his superfatted heart and unexpected title. Lady Yaxley now is that far, far better thing, the young girl's aunt, widowed ex-barmaid at the Criterion (see, later, Maudie Stubbs, Beach's niece, now Lady Parsloe).
