تعذر تحميل معلومات توفر الاستلام
A witty transatlantic romantic comedy from P. G. Wodehouse—complete as a reflowable EPUB and an 8-hour LibriVox audiobook.
Sally Nicholas has just inherited twenty-five thousand dollars, and everyone at her New York boardinghouse has a plan for spending it. Sally has plans of her own: Europe, independence, and perhaps a sensible investment in her fiancé’s Broadway production. What follows is a buoyant comedy of theatrical ambition, misplaced confidence, sudden reversals, and the persistent Ginger Kemp.
Written with Wodehouse’s effortless timing and warmth, The Adventures of Sally moves from New York to France and England while giving its heroine unusual room to make mistakes, recover, and choose her own future.

Chapter One: Sally Gives a Party
Sally looked contentedly down the long table. She felt happy at last. Everybody was talking and laughing now, and her party, rallying after an uncertain start, was plainly the success she had hoped it would be. The first atmosphere of uncomfortable restraint, caused, she was only too well aware, by her brother Fillmore’s white evening waistcoat, had worn off; and the male and female patrons of Mrs. Meecher’s select boardinghouse (transient and residential) were themselves again.
At her end of the table the conversation had turned once more to the great vital topic of Sally’s legacy and what she ought to do with it. The next best thing to having money of one’s own is to dictate the spending of somebody else’s, and Sally’s guests were finding a good deal of satisfaction in arranging a budget for her. Rumour having put the sum at their disposal at a high figure, their suggestions had certain spaciousness.
“Let me tell you,” said Augustus Bartlett, briskly, “what I’d do, if I were you.” Augustus Bartlett, who occupied an intensely subordinate position in the firm of Kahn, Morris and Brown, the Wall Street brokers, always affected a brisk, incisive style of speech, as befitted a man in close touch with the great ones of Finance. “I’d sink a couple of hundred thousand in some good, safe bond-issue—and play about with the rest.”
