Today’s story is another in the series of P.G. Wodehouse short stories found in the volume My Man Jeeves. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m recording anew all the stories in this volume. Some we’ve heard before, and some we haven’t. So while today’s story showed up as a vintage episode a few weeks back, I hope you won’t mind it again, recorded 15 years later.
