About this audiobook
Getting two rowdy undergraduate twins out of London should be a simple matter of logistics. But when the twins in question are Claude and Eustace, departure becomes a high art form of creative procrastination.
In
The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace, family duty comes knocking on Bertie Wooster's door in its most terrifying shape: Aunt Agatha. Charged with the harrowing task of shepherding his chaotic cousins onto a boat to South Africa, Bertie suddenly finds himself running a highly dysfunctional transit camp. The twins, possessing an infinite capacity for distraction and zero desire to leave the capital, turn a straightforward deadline into a beautifully orchestrated social circus. Every attempt to move these young gentlemen toward the train station only sucks Bertie deeper into a whirlpool of polite delays. Fortunately, Jeeves remains in the background, treating the entire crisis not as an emergency, but as a problem in neat rearrangement.
This is a masterclass in the comedy of absolute inertia. You don't listen to see if they leave; you listen to enjoy the glorious, agonizing spectacle of them staying.
