Why this must be read:

Disaster has struck at the Wooster domicile. News comes that both Madeline and Florence have chucked their suitors after Bertie makes them an ill-advised present of love poetry. Will he be torn to shreds between the warring two, or does Jeeves' calm demeanour herald a change for the better? An unexpected and top-hole read - even rivals 'The Mystery of the Pink Crayfish'.

"God's in his heaven, what?" I said.

"Authorities differ on the subject, sir."

"No, no. You know what I mean. That saying of yours that you're always going on about."

"You mean, sir, 'God's in his heaven, and all's right with the world.'"

"The very one. That's about the size of it, isn't it?" Jeeves paused. Given that he's the sort of cove who's quick with a reply, I have learned that any hesitation on Jeeves' part is a sign of peril. "Isn't it, Jeeves?"

"There are two telegrams for you, sir. You will find them on the tray."

Telegrams before breakfast often mean terrible things, such as aunts bearing errands. But even a gypsy fortuneteller of the first degree could be excused for squinting into the palm or tea leaves or so forth and not imagining such horrors as now befell me.

The first was from my boon companion Augustus Fink-Nottle, who was clearly feeling less boon-ish than usual:

ALL OVER BETWEEN MADELINE AND SELF. NO DOUBT THIS IS JUST AS YOU HAVE WISHED IT, BUT MUST SAY AM DISAPPOINTED. IS THIS BERTRAM WOOSTER I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH? WILL NOT ATTEND YOUR WEDDING BREAKFAST, SO DO NOT ASK, UNLESS OF COURSE ANATOLE COOKING BUT EVEN IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE WILL BE MOST COOL. WARNING AS FORMER FRIEND TO ANOTHER, HEART OF WOMAN AS FICKLE AS THAT OF NEWT.
