SERVICE WITH A SMILE

Book ID/图书代码: 11701213B64891

English Summary/英文概要: This is a Blandings novel. As a peer of the realm, Clarence, Ninth Earl of Emsworth, has an occasional duty to leave the Empress of Blandings, surely the most considerable pig in the whole world, and travel to London for the opening of parliament. It comes hard to him, for he has a proper sense of the priorities in life, which rate pigs and flowerbeds higher than politicians. But no sooner has he returned to Blandings than his real problems begin: the dastardly Duke of Dunstable is out to steal the Empress. His sister Lady Constance has inflicted on him a particularly nasty new secretary. And, the Church Lads’ Brigade are camped all over his lawns. Thank God for the Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred, whose own particularly devious brand of sweetness and light aims to banish blackmailers and pig-stealers and restore true love all over the castle grounds.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 同为贵社,埃姆沃斯第九任伯爵,克拉伦斯暂时撇下布兰丁城堡的明星猪“皇后”,赶往伦敦参加议会开幕。这对他来说有些为难,因为他对生活中的大小事务有着自己的认知,那就是他认为对猪的估价和花圃的评价,要比对政客们的评价要来得更为重要。 但他刚回布兰丁城堡不久,就面临着切实的问题了:欺善怕恶的邓斯特布尔公爵打算要偷“皇后”。他的妹妹康斯坦斯夫人给他安排了一位极为不讨喜的新秘书。一支教会童子军旅在他的草坪上安营扎寨。感谢上帝赐予伊克纳姆伯爵,也就是我们熟知的弗雷德叔叔,他独到而又谦和公平的,给猪打烙印的手艺,杜绝了勒索者和偷猪者的行径,恢复了城堡处处充满了正能量的阳光。(Sandy)
