Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum 2. No Wedding Bells For Bingo 3. Aunt Agatha Speaks Her Mi...

Right Ho, Jeeves sees Bertie Wooster blithely attempting to assume the role of Jeeves himself as a matters-of-the-heart adviser. Very unwise: from Gussie Fink-Nottle's romance with Madeline Bassett, to Tuppy Glossop and his stop/go engagement to Angela Travers, the young master succeeds only in making a bally mess of everyone's love-lives. Toss int...

But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control and he's going to need all the help Jeeves can provide.

Hapless and often hopeless romantic Bingo Little has fallen for yet another young lady in this Jeeves and Wooster story of terrible cravats, far-from-fine dining and love's perhaps-not-so-young dream. Bertie is rather confounded by Bingo's love for a girl below his rightful station, so long-suffering Jeeves is roped in to talk to Bingo's uncle, who...
