A P.G. Wodehouse Delight – Schemes, Romance, and Financial Shenanigans

Lord Biskerton, or “Biscuit” to his friends, is a man of great ambition—specifically, the ambition to avoid work at all costs. With red hair, the beginnings of a moustache, and a determined lack of occupation, he finds himself in need of a profitable scheme.

Enter Berry Conway, Biscuit’s best friend, who has done the unthinkable—succumbed to gainful employment. Now the secretary to T. Paterson Frisby, a cantankerous American millionaire who adores every last cent of his fortune, Berry finds himself entangled in a plot of financial and romantic intrigue.

With Ann Moon, Frisby’s captivating niece and heiress, in the picture, Biscuit and Berry hatch a plan for mutual advancement. But when things take an unexpected turn, they must turn to Aunt Vera, a seasoned expert in affairs of the heart and the pocketbook.

As Uncle Paterson is outmaneuvered, Aunt Vera works her matchmaking magic, and the House of Hoddesdon suddenly finds itself flush with two rather lucrative engagements, Wodehouse delivers yet another rollicking comedy of manners—full of mischief, misadventure, and undeniable charm.
