" This early Wodehouse is a humorous story about Lord Dawlish (Bill), his actress first fiancee Claire, and how how he finds his true love. Bill is loveable, sympathetic, and generous. His fiance won't marry him until he gets more money and encourages him to do things to get money which aren't in Bill's character. When he is told he has inherited a huge sum of money from a man he met once and cured of his golf slice, he tries to give the previous heir (Elizabeth Boyd) half the money. When she refuses, he goes to New York under an assumed name to see what he can do. Although he doesn't know it, his fiance has also gone to New York to visit an old friend and becomes engaged to a rich automobile maker, Dudley Pickering. Of course with both in NY, they can't help but see each other. There are several memorable scenes including Bill dancing in a NY restaurant, Dudley playing detective, and Elizabeth trying to get Bill stung by bees. "

" I listened to the audio version of this book on a road trip and enjoyed it very much. It's an early Wodehouse, and he was obviously still learning his craft, but it's still a lot of fun. I am in awe of his talent for perfect word choice. I would recommend this to anyone who has already read a lot of his novels. It's not a book to start with, tho. "

" An early 20s Wodehouse - i.e., as he was emerging from his "musical comedies without the music" formula but before he got truly hilarious. Moves right along with lots of chuckles and a few L.O.L.s There are at least two dozen funnier Wodehouse novels, so this is just for the hard core. "

" Still enjoying Wodehouse's works. None of them are laugh out loud funny but I do find myself chuckling often. The situations in this novel reminded me of situations one might find in Heller's Catch-22, which are always humorous. [spoilers removed]
