"Blandings has impostors like other houses have mice."
What comes when you combine a fitness buff, a jill-of-all-trades, a suspicious secretary, and a stolen scarab? Naturally, it is Something Fresh by the master of wit, P.G. Wodehouse.
Meet the members of Blandings Castle. An absentminded Earl, his dim-witted son the Honorable Freddie, their butler Beach (who has a terrible time with his stomach), and the Efficient Baxter -- a suspicious secretary who tends to always end up in the wrong place at the right time.
The story begins with the Earl in a pleasant mood. His son Freddie is engaged. Hurray! He shall be out of his hair forever! But when the Earl accidentally slips the prized scarab of his future father in-law into his pocket, he inadvertently begins a chaotic and exciting hunt for it right under his very nose. Who will steal the scarab first? Will it be returned to it's proper owner, or pawned off? And will love bloom for the Honorable Freddie -- or perhaps other individuals under the always mysterious roof of Blandings Castle?
“If girls realized their responsibilities they would be so careful when they smiled that they would probably abandon the practice altogether. There are moments in a man's life when a girl's smile can have as important results as an explosion of dynamite.”
