"A Damsel in Distress" by P. G. Wodehouse is a funny story set in the early 1900s about love and misunderstandings among rich people. It's centered on Lord Marshmoreton, his daughter Maud, his son Percy, and other funny characters. The story really kicks off when Maud, who is trying to sneak off to meet the person she loves, gets an artist named George Bevan involved in her plans, making for lots of funny mess-ups, because Lady Caroline Byng wants Maud to marry her stepson Reggie. The story, which introduces the reader to Belpher Castle, then sets the scene for a lighthearted look at love, miscommunication, and the silly things people do when they are trying to find love in a world of fancy parties and big houses.
