Money in the Bank (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Money in the Bank is a novel by P.G. Wodehouse, first published in the United States on January 19, 1942 by Doubleday Doran, New York, and in the United Kingdom on May 27, 1946 by Herbert Jenkins, London. The UK publication was delayed while Wodehouse was under suspicion of collaboration during World War II.
George, 6th Viscount Uffenham, a typically impecunius and absent-minded Wodehousian aristocrat, mislays his Aunt's fortune in diamonds, and is forced to let his family pile, returning there disguised as a butler named Cakebread to seek the gems.
The tale also features the crooks Alexander "Chimp" Twist, "Dolly" Gunn and Thomas "Soapy" Molloy, who had earlier appeared in Sam the Sudden (1925) and Money For Nothing (1928).
