The young and impoverished ninth Earl of Towcester is Jeeves' temporary new master while Bertie Wooster is away at school. Lord Towcester's rather complex situation is soon straightened out by the ingenious Jeeves, who has all problems of romance and finance solved and is on his way again.

I hadn't realized how much of the humor in these books relies on Bertie Wooster's first person (and fat-headed) narration until it was removed from the equation. Definitely my least favorite Jeeves tale and I suspect it should have been left as a play rather than adapted into novel form.
Finished this in one lovely afternoon. It was fun to see Jeeves in a slightly different way – this book is in 3rd person, not 1st, so we get a new perspective. The characters are hilarious, and of course the plot moves along quickly! Definitely a must-read for fans of Jeeves and Bertie (even though Bertie's off learning to darn socks, haha).
