Synopsis

When American composer George Bevan helps a young woman who has fled into his taxi, he’s smitten. His search for her leads to Belpher Castle, where mistaken identities, romantic complications, and meddling relatives turn the household upside down. Published in 1919, the novel serves up a lighthearted mix of romance and farce. The comedy springs from crossed signals, unexpected encounters, and George’s determined attempts to win the right woman’s attention. Wodehouse’s playful dialogue and comic plotting make it a breezy, clean read.
