https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=VrlPf_Y3mco<\/p>“Three Men and a Maid” in the USA and “The Girl on the Boat” in the UK, is a typical P.G. Wodehouse romantic comedy, involving, at various times: a disastrous talent quest, a lawyer with a revolver, a bulldog with a mind of his own and a suit of armour!\n\nThe maid, or marriageable young woman, is red-haired, dog-loving Wilhelmina “Billie” Bennet. The three men are Bream Mortimer, a long-time friend and admirer of Billie, Eustace Hignett, a poet of sensitive disposition who is engaged to Billie at the opening of the tale, and Sam Marlowe, Eustace’s would-be-dashing cousin, who falls for Billie at first sight. All four find themselves on an ocean liner headed for England together, along with an elephant-gun-wielding young woman called Jane Hubbard who is smitten with Eustace the poet. Typically Wodehousian romantic shenanigans ensue.\n\nChapter 1 – 00:00\nChapter 2 – 22:05\nChapter 3 – 1:03:32\nChapter 4 – 1:21:19\nChapter 5 – 1:50:26\nChapter 6 – 2:03:33\nChapter 7 – 2:13:04\nChapter 8 – 2:32:36\nChapter 9 – 2:43:07\nChapter 10 – 3:00:14\nChapter 11 – 3:05:34\nChapter 12 – 3:22:28\nChapter 13 – 3:35:40\nChapter 14 – 3:48:36\nChapter 15 – 4:09:08\nChapter 16 – 4:28:34\n\nRead by Tim Bulkeley (https:\/\/librivox.org\/reader\/753)","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
