Synopsis
 
IT was Sam Marlow's fate to fall in love with a girl on the R.M.S. Atlantic (New York to Southampton) who had ideals. She was looking for a man like Sir Galahad, and refused to be put off with any inferior substitute.

There was a somewhat hectic series of events at Windles, a country house in Hampshire, where Billie's ideals still block the way and Sam comes on in spite of everything. Then comes the moment when Billie It is a Wodehouse novel in every sense of the term.
