About this listen
 In this delightful romantic comedy by PG Wodehouse, known as Three Men and a Maid in the USA and The Girl on the Boat in the UK, we meet an unforgettable cast of characters caught in a whirlwind of mishaps and emotions. At the center of it all is the charming red-haired Wilhelmina Billie Bennet, a dog-lover and the object of affection for three very different suitors. Theres Bream Mortimer, a steadfast friend and admirer; Eustace Hignett, a sensitive poet engaged to Billie at the storys outset; and Sam Marlowe, the dashing cousin who falls head over heels for Billie at first glance. As they embark on an ocean liner bound for England, they are joined by the eccentric Jane Hubbard, who has her sights set on Eustace. Amidst a disastrous talent quest, a lawyer with a revolver, a bulldog with a mind of its own, and even a suit of armor, hilarity and romantic entanglements abound. Wodehouses signature humor shines through as even Eustaces formidable mother, a Theosophist author, struggles to keep the chaos at bay. (Summary by Wikipedia, adapted by Tim Bulkeley.)
