The Truth About George
""If anyone here tonight is afflicted with a stammer you will be interested to learn how George Mulliner got rid of his... The method is shown in our opening story, 'The Truth About George'. It entailed a certain amount of unpleasantness, but it was very effective ..."" P.G. Wodehouse Introduction Though a whiz at crosswords, poor George Mulliner stammers so badly he sounds like a soda-water syphon and is unable to declare his love for Susan. Searching for a cure, he sings (carols, chants, vocalizes) his way into a bit of a mess (botch, muddle, mix-up).
Romance at Droitgate Spa
""There is a terrible lot of snobbery, I am sorry to say, in all English health resorts. Visitors with merely a touch of arthritis are terribly snubbed by the swells with ailments which get written up in special numbers of 'The Lancet'. Tonight's story, Romance at Droitgate Spa, shows this."" P.G. Wodehouse Introduction Freddie Fitch-Fitch falls head-over-white-tie-and-tails in love with a bewitching but lowly conjurer's assistant. The only obstacles to their bliss are Freddie's snobbish uncle, a health spa devotee who holds sway over his nephew's finances, and the Great Boloney himself who thinks he has an unbeatable ace up his sleeve.
