"Fish Preferred" by P. G. Wodehouse is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story primarily revolves around the lighthearted trials and tribulations of characters entrenched in the British aristocracy, especially focusing on Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, and the various comical situations arising from the relationships and misunderstandings among his family and associates. The book promises a mix of witty humor and intricate social dynamics typical of Wodehouse's work. The opening of "Fish Preferred" introduces us to the tranquil setting of Blandings Castle, specifically through the eyes of Beach, the butler, and Mr. Hugo Carmody, the Earl's private secretary. As they engage in a dialogue laced with clever banter, we learn that Carmody harbors romantic intentions towards Millicent, the Earl's niece, and is preoccupied with avoiding the scrutiny of Lady Constance, Millicent's formidable aunt. This initial interaction sets the tone for a whimsical exploration of love, duty, and social status, suggesting that chaos may soon ensue with the arrival of other family members, ultimately weaving an intricate tapestry of comedic entanglements and misunderstandings.
