  The one thing that could be expected to militate against the peace of life at Blandings is the constant incursion of impostors. Blandings has imposters like other houses have mice. On this particular occasion there are two of them - both intent on a dangerous enterprise. Lord Emsworth's secretary, the Efficient Baxter, is on the alert and determined to discover what is afoot - despite the distractions caused by the Hon. Freddie Threepwood's hapless affair of the heart. The first Blandings Castle novel sets the standard for the parade of impostors on the premises.
