A Damsel in Distress

Inasmuch as the scene of this story is that historic pile, Belpher Castle, in the county of Hampshire, it would be an agreeable task to open it with a leisurely description of the place, followed by some notes on the history of the Earls of Marshmoreton, who have owned it since the fifteenth century. Unfortunately, in these days of rush and hurry, a novelist works at a disadvantage. He must leap into the middle of his tale with as little delay as he would employ in boarding a moving tramcar.

Audiobook for our drive home from NJ. This was not Jeeves and Wooster, but it was wonderfully tongue in cheek in that same way. I don't know why it's so funny to listen to the foibles of the wealthy in Britain ca WWI, but this was laugh out loud funny at times. Lots of odd little Anglicisms throughout.
