The Wooster Papers

The Wooster Papers

An account of the doings of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, Esq., his friends, his aunts, and a considerable number of persons who would have been better advised to leave well enough alone.

The evidence has been collected, the incidents indexed, and the engagements put in their proper order. No attempt has been made to explain the behaviour of those concerned.

Bobbie reveals the guests are Blumenfeld and his dreadful son, to whom she will read her mother's play, and on Jeeves's advice Bertie flees before the boy can insult him, meeting them at the door.
