Summary

From the creator of "Leave It To Jeeves" comes this short story, narrated by a character very similar to our friend Bernie Wooster- who tries to help his friend out after a marital row. It seems his pal has trouble remembering anything, and this time he had forgotten his wife's birthday- a cardinal sin in male-female relationships.
