Θα γινόταν καταπληκτικό σενάριο ταινίας . ( ) PG Wodehouse is always a delightful treat. I’m so happy there are more than fifty books still to come! I went by the US publication date in order to include this book in my round up of 1916, which some may consider cheating. Lord Dawlish has a title but no money, so he is delighted when an eccentric millionaire leaves him all his money just because Lord Dawlish (aka Bill) gave him a few golf pointers once. But when Bill discovers that the eccentric millionaire has stiffed poor but deserving relatives, he sets out for Long Island to try to set things right. There is beekeeping, romance, people pretending to be other people, and lots of hilarity. The only sad part is something that happens to a monkey. In the end, everyone ends up engaged to the right person. On the final page we are at the train station in Islip, Long Island, which today is a gross and unappealing town, but apparently 100 years ago was a bucolic spot where the rich built mansions. If this book doesn’t make you smile, your soul is in mortal danger. Our hero, Lord Dawlish, is told that he has inherited a lot of money from an eccentric American millionaire whom he helped with his golf game. When his offer to share the money with the man's niece is rebuffed, he travels to Long Island to try and convince her in person. Meanwhile, Lord Dawlish's fiance, an actress who aspires to wealth and status, also arrives in New York. She is beautiful but bossy and we quickly realize that he deserves better; she will appear with a different name in other Wodehouse stories. There are complications, but everything works out for almost everyone. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: What would you do if you found out that a long-ago acquaintance left you the equivalent of millions of dollars in his will? That's exactly what happens to down-on-his-luck Lord Dawlish in P. G. Wodehouse's Uneasy Money. Although the funds are a much-needed financial blessing, Dawlish isn't entirely comfortable with the inheritance and sets off on a quest to put things right??with plenty of stops along the way to indulge his love of golf, theater, and the opposite sex.
