Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_for_Nothing_(novel) Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Money for Nothing" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written in the late 1920s. Set in the quaint village of Rudge-in-the-Vale, the story unfolds around the lives of its eccentric residents, particularly Colonel Wyvern, who has narrowly escaped a possibly fatal dynamite accident, and John Carroll, a young man hopelessly in love with the beautiful Patricia Wyvern. The narrative is rich in humor and character interactions as it introduces various plotlines involving love, friendship, and the comical intricacies of village life. The opening of the novel immerses readers in the sleepy atmosphere of Rudge-in-the-Vale, where nothing much happens—until an explosion at the nearby Rudge Hall disrupts the tranquility. Colonel Wyvern expresses outrage over the incident while sharing his grievances with Chas. Bywater, the village chemist, who relishes the gossip. Simultaneously, John Carroll is introduced, grappling with his love for Patricia and his anxiety about upcoming events that might impact their relationship amidst the feud between their respective families. As the chaos unfolds, Wodehouse sets the stage for a humorous exploration of romantic entanglements and social dynamics that promise to delight readers.
