The Man With Two Left Feet by P.G. Wodehouse
Another Wodehouse collection of short stories available from Project Gutenberg.
Quote from a Jeeves and Wooster story, Extricating Young Gussie.
New York is a large city conveniently situated on the edge of America, so that you step off the liner right on to it without an effort. You can’t lose your way. You go out of a barn and down some stairs, and there you are, right in among it.
What’s odd about this Jeeves and Wooster story is that Jeeves plays almost no part in it, aside from a few “yes, sir”s and “What suit would you like to wear?” As such, it really isn’t a Jeeves and Wooster story except in name. It’s as if Wodehouse had the idea for a story but couldn’t be bothered to invent some new characters to tell it. Odd, that.
Otherwise, standard issue Wodehouse.
