- Blandings has impostors the way other houses have mice.
A quote from the book, which in one line summarizes the plot without the need to discuss it any further.
Two young neighbours and writers Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine for various reasons want to steal a Scarab (An Ancient Egyptian Artifact) belonging to an American absent minded millionaire, Lord Emsworth. Do they succeed and how does it affect their relationship? Meanwhile, Freddie Threepwood, engaged to the millionaire’s daughter, whose life is threatened when he is blackmailed with some incriminating letters which he doesn’t want to be revealed to his fiancée.
All this is written in Wodehouse’s own comical style, forming a brilliant book.
A quote of Wodehouse which I have wanted to post for long now
“I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn “
So, true and only those ardent Wodehouse fans will know that he isnt’t everyone’s cup of tea and once you get used to that English tea you will never want anything else !!
Welcome back !! nice one.. Your last couple of lines, totally make sense.
