Aunts aren't Gentlemen - P.G. Wodehouse

The terrific twosome are at it again. Reginald Jeeves and Bertram Wooster join hands to foil devious schemes of villains out to disrupt the quiet English life. And this time it starts with a handful of pink spots on Bertie Wooster’s chest. And the doctor says that it is the stressful life that Bertie, of all people, leads and he must take a break in the countryside to become healthy again.

Not the last Wooster has a hectic life in the first place, but he still decides to retire to the countryside, alarmed by the consequences of not doing so as pointed out by his doctor. And that’s where adventure embraces him with open arms as he runs into a whole bunch of undesirable people when he was looking forward to meeting only his very desirable aunt. And while the aunt was not very villainous, the moral of this story, as the title suggests, is that aunts aren’t gentlemen.

Really speaking, the plot isn’t the strongest ever written by Plum. But it is gripping none the less. In fact, the happy ending turned out to be slightly different than what I thought it would be. And of course, when you have a Wooster around, you are bound to have quite a lot of laughs. So all said, this was one more satisfying Wodehouse book. He never disappoints, does he?
