Synopsis

I think the Cosmopolis is a bally rotten hotel!' Having made a bitter enemy of Daniel Brewster, owner of New York's Hotel Cosmopolis, Archie Moffam (fresh from England) checks out and heads south, where he woos and weds one Lucille Brewster...little thinking. Back at the Hotel Cosmopolis, Archie once again finds himself confronted by Mr. Brewster, who resembles nothing so much as a 'maneating fish'. Then the fun begins.

Archie Moffam (pronounced "moom") is a brainless English chappie bunged out of the family home after being demobbed. They want him to get a job or something! While looking for work in New York, he stays at the Cosmopolis Hotel, owned and managed by one Mr. Daniel Brewster. Archie's stay is marred by......more

Goodreads review by Manuel on July 30, 2023

ENGLISH: A typical Wodehouse collection of sketches about an English protagonist who marries in the US with an American girl, and manages to get into all kinds of troubles, many of them with his father-in-law, whose belief that Archie does not deserve his daughter is his only point of agreement with......more
