Librivox recording of Uneasy Money by P. G. Wodehouse.
Read by Tim Bulkeley.
Uneasy Money is a romantic comedy by P.G. Wodehouse, published during the First World War, it offers light escapism. More romantic but only a little less humorous that his mature works, it tells of the vicissitudes of poor Lord Dawlish, who inherits five million dollars, but becomes a serially disappointed groom.
When the story opens Bill (Lord Dawlish, a thoroughly pleasant man) is engaged to a demanding actress. His first thought when hearing of his massive legacy from a stranger whose tendency to slice he once cured on a West Country golf course is of the disappointed relatives. His trip to the USA attempting to give back the windfall results in complication after complication, including firearms and burglaries as well as the usual human misunderstandings that accompany any human life.
Uneasy Money was first published as a serial in the Saturday Evening Post in the USA from December 1915, and in the UK in Strand Magazine starting December 1916. It first appeared in book form on March 17, 1916 by D. Appleton & Co., New York, and later in the UK (on October 4, 1917) by Methuen & Co., London.
A silent, black-and-white film version was made in 1918.

Subject:
Good story
Wodehouse does it again. If you inherited the fortune that belonged to someone else, would you keep it? Worse, if it should have been your money, would you try to trick that person out of it?
Wodehouse's story is about this subject, with the usual humor, with a bit of drama mixed in.
Reading was pretty good. Enjoy!
