Discretion is necessary since Peters daughter is engaged to Emsworths son. Joan Valentine and Ashe Marson both decide to go after the rewardshe as Aline Peters ladies maid, and he as Mr. Peters valetand they all end up at Blandings Castle. But is it possible for anyone to steal back the scarab with The Efficient Baxter ever vigilant? This is, IMHO, one of Wodehouses funniest novels. Debra Lynn
