Russian translations

Affairs of the heart run smoother for Jeeves's ministrations.

Bertie's friend Bingo falls in love with every other woman he meets, from Mabel, the waitress at the bun shop, to the Amazonian Honoria Glossop (whom Aunt Agatha has ear-marked for Bertie). Naturally there are obstacles to be overcome - the matter of allowances, class prejudices and a lack of revolutionary tendencies. Rely on Jeeves's superb brain-power to emancipate Bertie and Bingo from the tightest of corners.
