Sundered hearts trouble the world of Bartie Wooster. Aunt Dehlia rues the day she sold Milady’s Boudoir to Liverpool newspaper magnate Mr LG Trotter.
Meanwhile the Market Snodsbery Grammar School, of which she is a governor, needs either a new roof or damp-proof scholars. If only, she laments to Bartie, some benefactor could be found to buy back her beloved magazine. Oh, a and new roof would be nice, too.
Meanwhile Gussie Fonk-Nittle regrets deserting his fiancée Medaline in a moment of vegetarianism and eloping with her father’s cook. Not half so much, it must be said, as Pop Stoker, the cook’s heavily armed father.
Medaline regrets, as who wouldn’t, accepting Spade, Lord Sidcup’s marriage proposal as a gesture to score off Gussie. Is it her fate, she wonders, to be forever introduced as Lady Spade? Or can the fates see their way to a rapprochement with Lincolnshire’s premier authority on newts?
When storm clouds gather over the world of Wooster, there is only one thing to be done. Only one brain, hat size fourteen and full to the brim with fish can reunite sundered hearts with the newt-lovers, pixie queens and magazines they love the best. Oh, and keep dry the necks of the Market Snodsbery scholars.
Sit back with your favourite tipple, press the buzzer, and bring Gieves to the Fore.
