"Three Men and a Maid" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. The story revolves around the interactions and misadventures of a group of characters, primarily focusing on Mrs. Horace Hignett, an eminent author, her son Eustace, and their unexpected visitor, her nephew Sam Marlowe. The narrative promises a blend of romance, familial dynamics, and the comedic elements typical of Wodehouse's storytelling. At the start of "Three Men and a Maid," we are introduced to Mrs. Hignett, who is in New York for a lecturing tour while juggling concerns about her son Eustace's future and the family estate, Windles. Tension arises when she is confronted by her nephew, Sam, who has a light-hearted demeanor that contrasts with her more serious nature. Their family interaction soon reveals that Eustace is entangled in a romantic predicament involving a girl named Wilhelmina Bennett, who has become the subject of a potential marriage discussion. Meanwhile, the comedic chaos escalates with the intrusion of Bream Mortimer, who is in love with Wilhelmina, leading to yet another layer of romantic entanglement. The stage is set for humorous misunderstandings, family tensions, and romantic pursuits against the backdrop of an ocean voyage, promising readers a delightful journey through Wodehouse's signature wit and charm.
