Lord Biskerton, son and heir of the sixth Earl of Hoddesdon, and known to his friends as Biscuit, had red hair, a preliminary scenario for a moustache and a noble determination to escape the disgrace of work.

It was never the habit of Frederick, fifth Earl of Ickenham, to grumble when events crowded in on him, but he did sometimes feel that the life-work he had set himself of spreading sweetness and light — or, as some preferred to put it, meddling in other people's business — was almost more than any man could be expected to undertake single-handed.

It takes a lot of effort for Jimmy Crocker to become Piccadilly Jim — nights on the town roistering, headlines in the gossip columns, a string of broken hearts and breaches of promise. Eventually, he becomes rather good at it and manages to go to pieces with his eyes open. But no sooner has Jimmy cut a wild swathe through fashionable London than his terrifying Aunt…

The paragon of Gentlemen’s Personal Gentlemen shimmers through these fat pages in much the same way as he did through the first Jeeves Omnibus. This volume…
