Crypt currency is the future. The enchantments are reliable. The aethernet infrastructure is sound.

Some problems announce themselves loudly. Others arrive quietly with tea, civility, and a completely ruined afternoon. In Fixing it for Freddie, P. G. Wodehouse demonstrates that helping a friend is rarely a straightforward moral gesture—it is more often a carefully staged descent into social confusion. Freddie, suffering from a bruised heart and a spectacular lack of judgment, requires assistance of the delicate kind.

Some decisions are made with great seriousness. Others are made, reconsidered, revised, and ultimately regretted—usually by Bertie Wooster. In Bertie Changes His Mind , P. G. Wodehouse explores the delicate art of mental revision under pressure. This time, however, the situation is observed with the calm detachment of Jeeves, who watches his employer's latest conviction shift with alarming speed. Bertie's sudden enthusiasm leads him into a sequence of decisions involving unexpected responsibility and an ill-advised journey to Brighton.

Some afternoons are civilized. Others involve Old Biffy. Most fellows remember their own weddings. Some even remember where they left their hats. But Biffy? Biffy has somehow managed to misplace a fiancée in the middle of London — while also forgetting which hotel he's staying at in Paris. In The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy , P. G. Wodehouse launches listeners headfirst into the delightfully impractical world of Jeeves and Wooster.

Some men are born to lead. Others are born to follow. Bertie Wooster, however, was born to regard the legal system as something that happens to other people—preferably at a safe distance. In Without the Option , P. G. Wodehouse sends Bertie hurtling from harmless celebration into the dignified horror of British justice, where a misplaced moment of enthusiasm for a policeman's helmet has entirely proper consequences.

Eleven sparkling stories from comic master P.G. Wodehouse, of hapless young clubman Bertie Wooster and his unflappable manservant Jeeves, who is always urbanely ready to rescue the young master and his friends from the soup.

Let me introduce you to Signora Psyche Zenobia. An adopted name of course, but for someone so flamboyant, appropriate. The good signora has aspirations. She would like to be a writer. At present she is the corresponding secretary to an interesting group of notables in Philadelphia which goes by a lengthy name with the initials of P.R.E.T.T.Y. B.L.U.E. B.A.T.C.H.! But how to get published? She travels to Edinburgh to meet with the esteemed proprietor and editor of 'Blackwood Magazine.' A real publication of the 1830s.

As it is well known that the "wise men" came "from the East," and as Mr. Touch-and-go Bullet-head came from the East, it follows that Mr. Bullet-head was a wise man; and if collateral proof of the matter be needed, here we have it — Mr. B. was an editor. Irascibility was his sole foible; for in fact the obstinacy of which men accused him was anything but his foible, since he justly considered it his forte. It was his strong point — his virtue; and it would have required all the logic of a Brownson to convince him that it was "anything else.

"The Man That Was Used Up", sometimes subtitled "A Tale of the Late Bugaboo and Kickapoo Campaign", is a short story and satire by Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in August 1839 in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine. The story follows an unnamed narrator who seeks out the famous war hero John A. B. C. Smith. He becomes suspicious that Smith has some deep secret when others refuse to describe him, instead remarking only on the latest advancements in technology. When he finally meets Smith, the man must first be assembled piece by piece.

Some men dream of changing society. Others simply hope to survive luncheon without disgrace. In Comrade Bingo , P. G. Wodehouse unleashes another round of romantic confusion, social acrobatics, and impeccably polished nonsense. Bertie Wooster finds himself observing a world in which revolutionary ideals, aristocratic habits, and spectacularly poor decisions coexist far too comfortably. At the center of it all is Bingo Little — enthusiastic, impressionable, and once again dangerously in love.
