Summary
Galahad can’t abide broken hearts. So when Sam Bagshott and Sandy, Lord Emsworth’s current secretary, have a falling-out over a bet, Galahad determines to reunite the warring couple. Sam stands to win a sackful if Tipton Plimsoll marries Veronica Wedge, Lord Emsworth’s niece, but there’s a rumor that Tipton is deep in the financial soup. Veronica’s fearsome mother immediately stops all nuptials. To add to the mayhem, the Empress, Lord Emsworth’s beloved prize porker, is discovered drunk. Fortunately, Galahad is on hand to put matters right. Or so he hopes.

This book is late in PGW’s output, but maintains a higher level of Plummy excellence than some others from that era. The last couple of scenes gallop very satisfyingly to the end. I’m a Jonathan Cecil mega-fan, and IMO other Wodehouse narrators range from terrible through mis-cast to good-but-not-Cecil. I put J. Sinden in the latter group, particularly once I’d bumped up the speed a notch. Suddenly there was more sparkle, and somehow more pitch variety—perhaps that was an auditory illusion, but I’ll now try other Sinden products at 1.2 speed!
