Summary
“There are people here," the youth intoned, leaning in, "who are not what they seem."
"Sorry?" Alicent tried for nonchalance.
"Yourself, for example. You seem very like part of the furniture, but as one who considers oneself friendly with the grandfather clock, friendlier even than with one's own grandfather, I could say with conviction that I have never seen you at Westerly."
Relief set Alicent back to insouciance. "I am Mordlysham's secretary," she explained dully. "Who are you?"
The youth took a graceful step back and bowed apologetically.
"I beg your pardon. I am Rhaenyra Targotty, I serve as a progenitive feature of this establishment."Alicent and her pipes manufacturing magnate father travel to Westerly Manor disguised as Dornish fanaticist writer Mordlysham and secretary in order to guile an investment from the Targotty family coffers.

Summary
Evaluating some of Wodehouse's standalone works, particularly their portrayal of women: the overbearing aunts and bossy young girls alike. See also What is Baxter's Deal? for a look at the actual Wodehouse marriage and how that might have affected the writing of the Blandings series.
