Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was a popular English comic writer. His books are usually set around pre-war upper-class English society.

This is a collection of 19 humoristic short stories, published in book form in 1914, each with at least a touch of romance at end. A typical sample of the author's style and themes... The stories included are:

The Man Upstairs
Something to Worry About
Deep Waters
When Doctors Disagree
By Advice of Counsel
Rough-hew Them How We Will
The Man Who Disliked Cats
Ruth in Exile
Archibald's Benefit
The Man, the Maid, and the Miasma
The Good Angel
Pots o' Money
Out of School
Three from Dunsterville
The Tuppenny Millionaire
Ahead of Schedule
Sir Agravaine
The Goal-keeper and the Plutocrat
In Alcala

I created this version from the PG text, proofread and corrected. I added curly quotes, a TOC, some formatting, etc.

Any kind of feedback is welcome.
