It is an ironical fact that Lady Wetherby was by nature one of the firmest believers in existence in the policy of breaking things gently to people. She had a big, soft heart, and she hated hurting her fellows. As a rule, when she had bad news to impart to any one, she administered the blow so gradually and with such mystery as to the actual facts that the victim, having passed through the various stages of imagined horrors, was genuinely relieved, when she actually came to the point, to find that all that had happened was that he had lost all his money.

But now, in perfect innocence, thinking only to pass along an interesting bit of information, she had crushed Bill as effectively as if she had used a club for that purpose.

Critic reviews

"Wodehouse's masterful language makes high comedy out of situations that would be dull or slapstick in less capable hands. He invites reading aloud....[Simon Vance] has a pleasant voice and a sympathetic feel for the material." (AudioFile)
"Uneasy Money offers plot twits that keep the ending from being too predictable and humor as sharp as in any of his other stories. Reader Simon Vance has a pleasant, Wodehousean voice that never becomes cloying." (Library Journal)

A pleasant, easy read, a good story and peep into history. Thinking I should look in on Jeeves and Wooster.

A great old-fashioned romp

This was very enjoyable and without the excessive number of players that some later stories became muddled with. Some very humorous parts. Well read and presented.

Great story

There’s an odd production error in the audiobook - the amounts of money (there are three amounts important to the plot) all increased five-fold half way through the novel.

Aside from this minor issue, it’s a great reading of an excellent novel.

Vintage Wodehouse, often laugh out loud funny
