| Notes: | Published in the U.S. as The Brinkmanship of Galahad Threepwood. Love is in the air at Lord Emsworth's Blandings Castle. The lord's niece Veronica wishes to marry millionaire Tipton, but her parents believe (falsely) that he has lost his money in the stock market crash. Writer Sam wishes to marry Sandy, the lord's secretary, but they had a disagreement over money and aren't speaking. In addition, Sam is wanted by the police due to a misunderstanding. And the lord's nephew Wilfred wishes to marry Miss Simmons, who takes care of the lord's prize pig, but is afraid of her. In addition, the lord's sister Hermione, has invited one Daphne to the castle in hopes that she will marry the lord himself. The lord's brother, Galahad Threepwood, with a combination of lies, manipulation, fast talking, and steady coolness in the face of pressure, manages to get the three young couples wed and the lord freed from the company of Hermone and Daphne. |
