The Story of Webster
by P. G. Wodehouse
The American Magazine (February 1932); reprinted Mulliner Nights (Herbert Jenkins, 1933)
Like so many of Wodehouse’s ‘Mulliner’ stories, this comes across as a repurposed bit of business from a Bertie Wooster novel. The delivery is quintessential Wodehouse but there’s a nagging sense that the events described are taking place divorced of greater context. $466
