When Bill Bannister meets Dr. Sally Smith, love blossoms immediately. Unfortunately, there is just the small problem of Lottie Higginbotham, former actress, serial bride, and human fireball, with whom Bill is already involved. The well-meaning interference of Bill’s old friend, Squiffy Tidmouth, once married to Lottie, only complicates matters further—until everything is straightened out in a series of comic encounters at Bill’s ancestral home and everyone lives happily ever after.

"Not my fav PG Wodehouse but still fun. I love the strong female (gasp!) doctor as the lead. Wodehouse really has a knack for writing funny, strong femal characters who often outwit the men." — Suzanne (4 out of 5 stars)
"Not my fav PG Wodehouse but still fun. I love the strong female (gasp!) doctor as the lead. Wodehouse really has a knack for writing funny, strong femal characters who often outwit the men."
“The most industrious, prolific, and beneficent author ever to have sat down, scratched his head, and banged out a sentence.”
“A brilliantly funny writer—perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced.”
" Perfect rainy-day-in-the-country book. Wodehouse is God. "
" A terse capital read. Topping Comedy! One of the best roll-on-the-floor-laughing experience ever! "
" It's an easy, quick read, but that's only because Wodehouse is excellent. His turn of phrase and witty humor is so enjoyable. "
" A lot of Wodehouse's non-Jeeves books I find hard to stick with. But this one was really funny without dragging on and on and on. Based on his play 'Good Morning, Bill', so that may be why it's shorter. Very funny. "
" Not the best Wodehouse, but far from the worst. Enough word play and eccentric characters to make this a fun read. Based on a play by Wodehouse and also published as The Medicine Girl. "
" Not up to standard, but still a lot of fun. "
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
