Something New

P G Wodehouse was a British writer known for his comic style. Besides writing short stories and novels he also wrote plays and musical lyrics. Something New is the American title for the novel Something Fresh. Minor changes were made in the US version. In this version both Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine are Americans living in England. George Emerson is not a Hong Kong policeman, but a member of a New York law firm. Ashe and Joan meet and find they work for the same firm. They are for various reasons attempting to retrieve a scarab belonging to an American millionaire, absent-minded Lord Emsworth. Once within the Castle's idyllic walls, impersonating servants, a romance stirs. Meanwhile, Freddie Threepwood, who is engaged to the millionaire's daughter is worried about some incriminating letters.
