描述
At Blandings Castle, the serene atmosphere is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Lady Constance, the Earl of Emsworth's formidable sister. Her stern demeanor casts a shadow over the usual charm of the estate, much to the dismay of Emsworth, who is more preoccupied with his prized pig than family affairs. Amidst the turmoil, a pelican makes an unusual appearance, causing chaos and confusion within the household.
As the Earl navigates through his sister's unwelcome interventions and the eccentricities that ensue, a comedic series of events unfolds. Emsworth's attempts to retain his beloved tranquility are thwarted by Lady Constance's uncanny knack for meddling, leading to a delightful blend of humor and absurdity. The pelican's presence adds an extra layer of whimsy to the already zany goings-on at the castle.
Through witty dialogue and charming character dynamics, the story captures the essence of Wodehouse's signature humor and the delightful unpredictability of life at Blandings. Readers are drawn into a world where keys to happiness are often hidden beneath layers of familial rivalry and the unlikely antics of a feathered intruder.
