I picked this book up by complete chance and quite enjoyed it. It is a clever comedy about a good-hearted but not so bright member of British high society. In many ways, the story line is like a good comedy from Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde: the first half of the story describes a series of chance incidents that tangles the characters in a web with the second half of the story focusing on how things are resolved. This book involves the main character stuck in trying to help two pairs of lovers get things worked out while dealing with a difficult uncle and a young boy scout whose desire to live the scout slogan causes more harm than good.
It is light-hearted, enjoyable and an easy read. I'm planning on reading other books by the author.
