Mastery of characters and timing make the base for several extremely funny situations. The backdrop references to colonial stereotypes are painful by contemporary standards. ( ) Wodehouse, P. G. Uncle Dynamite. 1948. Norton, 2012. Uncle Fred, the fifth earl of Ickenham, is back spreading sweetness and light. Uncle Fred thinks his nephew Pongo should marry a young sculptress, not Hermione, the straitlaced girl who is his current fiancée. He has met another young man who is pining for her. All that is required is stealing a few statues and pushing a policeman into the duck pond. What could be easier? Here he explains the “Ickenham system” for getting Hermione to say yes: “ignoring her struggles, clasp her to your bosom and shower kisses on her upturned face. You needn’t say much. Just ‘My mate” or something of that sort.” Works every time, he says. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: A chance meeting on a train brought together Lord Ickenham and Bill Oakshott-although being told that the love of his life, Hermione, was engaged to none other than Pongo, Lord Ickenham's nephew, did make Bill feel like he'd been struck behind the ear. But Pongo has troubles of his own to deal with when he accidently breaks one of Hermione's father's prized statues-and winds up replacing it with a smuggling vessel full of jewels. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
