I downloaded this collection for free from Project Gutenberg for the short stories only, thus my rating does not include the poetry and articles.

“When Papa Swore in Hindustani” was my favourite of the four stories. The “Papa” in question gets worked up easily by his daughter’s pet dog, which tends to cause havoc in the garden.

“Tom, Dick, and Harry” features two young friends in love with the same lady. They decide to compete in a cricket match in a field full of cows to determine who should step back to let the other propose to the lady.

“Jeeves Takes Charge” features Bertie vying for the affections of Florence Creye, who has “a fine profile”, while certain aspects of her personality are not so appealing.

The intimidating Florence Creye appears again in “Disentangling Old Duggie”. Here she interferes with her brothers’ love lives, not approving of their choice of mate, and she hassles their friend – Reggie – to do her dirty work for her.

Quite a number of entertaining and funny moments occur in all of these tales. ( )

A somewhat cute anthology with mild humor directed largely at the differences between the classes. I found it both funnier than I expected and a bit disappointing. I might read some of Wodehouse's novels in the future, thanks to having my interest piqued by this book.
