By PG Wodehouse. More than 100 years after it was written, Martin Jarvis performs PG Wodehouse's rediscovered, witty tale of aristocratic angst.

This cannily observant early P.G. Wodehouse story was lost for 99 years, now recently discovered. It has some classic "Plum" ingredients: an eccentric Earl, an irresponsible young man, a chorus girl, and of course a butler, not Jeeves (Wodehouse hadn't created him yet!) but the ancient 'Keeling', who has more worldly wisdom than anybody. 

Reader: Martin Jarvis 

Director: Rosalind Ayres 
A Jarvis & Ayres Production for BBC Radio 4.
