When his employer attempts to help a lovesick friend, Jeeves must clean up the ensuing scandal, in this comic novel featuring the iconic English valet. Bertie Wooster returns home from vacation to learn that his friend Gussie Fink-Nottle has been soliciting love advice from Jeeves, the eminently practical valet in Bertie’s employ. Afraid of being overshadowed by his own manservant, Bertie instructs Jeeves to stop assisting so that he may take up the case himself. After all, how difficult could it be to help timid Gussie win the heart of the silly and childish Madeline Bassett? Meanwhile, Bertie’s aunt has requested his presence at her country estate to give a speech at the local grammar school. When he learns that Madeline is visiting as well, he sends Gussie in his place. But what seems like a perfect plan quickly comes apart in a comedy of disgruntled cooks, drunken speeches, gambling debts, and mistaken intentions that leave Bertie himself unexpectedly betrothed to Madeline. Now it is Bertie who requires Jeeves’s advice in this classic novel of matchmaking gone hysterically awry.
