What makes it funny?
Biscuit regards keeping out of work as a noble ambition. Berry has had to settle for employment with a millionaire who cherishes his money, and still has his childhood nurse fussing over him.
The comedy at work
The lovers' preferences keep getting in the way of financially sensible engagements. Aunt Vera has her own ideas about arranging their futures, leaving several people planning around the same money and marriages.
Try this if…
Classic romantic farce for readers who enjoy meddling relatives, crossed engagements and young men trying to solve money problems without much enthusiasm for work.
