Stiff upper Lip,Jeeven

When the news broke that Madeline Bassett, the most predatory female in the county, had become engaged to Gussie Fink-Nottle, Bertie Wooster's relief was intense; the future held no further terrors. But, as he should have guessed, the wheels soon began to grind. Long experience of smoothing out lovers' tiffs revealed to Bertie that what the situation called for was someone capable of dispelling dissension by the sweet light of reason. And it was in this capacity that he journeyed to Totleigh Towers, an apprehensive ambassador spurred by the awful knowledge that if he should fail in his mission Madeline would inevitably marry him on the rebound. He could imagine no more ghastly prospect. In these mounting storm clouds on the Wooster horizon, there was but one ray of comfort - the presence of Jeeves, steadfast and reassuring. No cause has ever been lost while Jeeves was around, and in this uproarious novel his mastermind again rises effortlessly to the occasion.
