![]() ![]() Imagine her surprise when she finds her neighbour, Ashe Marson, has also turned up at Blandings purporting to be Mr Peters’ valet, with the same intention. Joan decides to head off to Blandings Castle, Lord Emsworth’s seat, in the guise of being Aline’s maid, to steal the scarab and get the reward. Enter Joan Valentine, an old school friend of Aline who is in need of money. So Mr Peters lets it be known that he will handsomely reward anyone who steals the scarab back and returns it to him. Mr Peters knows that to denounce the theft would break up the engagement, and he’s as keen on getting Aline married into the British aristocracy as Lord Emsworth is to marry Freddie to American money. Lord Emsworth’s mind is mostly notable for being absent, though, and this leads him to accidentally steal a valuable scarab from Mr Peters, Aline’s father – the pride of his collection. Freddie has been a trial and a tribulation to him, and the idea of him settling down with a rich wife is a great relief to what one might loosely describe as Lord Emsworth’s mind. Freddie Threepwood gets engaged to American heiress Aline Peters, Lord Emsworth is thrilled. ![]() The Scandal of the Stolen Scarab! □ □ □ □ □ ![]()
