The house party at Chateau Blissac, Brittany, features a rather odd array of guests this year.

Mr. J. Wellington Gedge is hoping for some peace and quiet while his wife takes herself off for a while. She, however, has invited numerous visitors to the chateau, to whom he will have to play reluctant host. Senator Opal and his daughter are expected, and so is the chateau's handsome owner, Vicomte de Blissac.

When a certain letter goes missing, landing the senator in the proverbial hot water, it's up to Packy Franklyn, a great pal of the vicomte's, to sort out the mess. Unfortunately this involves a little light safecracking.

It’s a typical Wodehouse, need one say more.
I do need to comment on the description of one character chloroforming a sleeping woman, though. More than non-PC. I don’t want to advocate censorship but if that sentence were accidentally deleted no one would probably mind, not even Plum.

Jonathan Cecil was something special.
I hope the rest of the Wodehouse works get a narrator on those impressive lines.
Some of the best characters Wodehouse created are in this story.

Classic Wodehouse!

This is the penultimate Wodehouse with wacky characters, an involved storyline of mistaken identities, and tied together by brilliant writing and laugh-at-loud phrases. The narrator is excellent. What a pleasure!!

My favorite Wodehouse!

Such a fun bit of mid 20th century delights. Appreciate P G Wodehouse sense of the ridiculous and ability to surprise at every turn.

Hilarious

Love’s laughter is its apotheosis . Everything stood out every line a diamond like a sky full of giggling glitter — “like being in heaven without all the bother and expense of dying”

Perfect
