( )Enjoyable story featuring another dysfunctional American family in one of England's stately homes. Another dose of P. G. Wodehouse, this time outside the realm of Jeeves and Wooster. The story centers around a young artist of cheerful self-regard named Joss Weatherby, who takes a job as a valet in order to win the girl of his dreams (who's already engaged to a Wooster-style doofus) and steal a portrait he himself painted. Henpecked husbands, poor relations, gossiping servants, airy badinage, an intricate comic plot -- all the PGW trademarks are here. His language is just as nimble as his storytelling. The whole enterprise virtually begs to be set to music by Cole Porter. Read in The Most of Wodehouse compilation http://www.cozylibrary.com/default.as... no reviews | add a review
