Bingo and the Little Woman Bertie and his friend Bingo Little dine at the
Senior Liberal Club, where Bingo falls in love with their waitress. She returns his feelings. Bingo asks Bertie to persuade Bingo's uncle,
Lord Bittlesham, to restore his allowance by once more pretending to be the romance novelist Rosie M. Banks, whom Lord Bittlesham admires. Bertie is reluctant, but Bingo reminds him they were at school together. Bingo tells Bertie to send Bittlesham an autographed copy of Rosie M. Banks's most recent novel,
The Woman Who Braved All. Having greatly enjoyed the book, Lord Bittlesham listens to Bertie and agrees to restore Bingo's allowance. However, he does not approve of Bingo's engagement. Bertie tells this to Bingo, who is happy about his allowance but disappointed not to have his uncle's approval. Bingo is gone for three days, and when he reappears, he looks dazed and rambles about random topics. At last, he tells Bertie the big news: he is married.
All's Well Bertie is stunned that Bingo has got married. Bingo persuade Bertie to talk to Lord Bittlesham again to break the news. Bertie talks to Bittlesham, and at first Bittlesham is angry that Bingo has married without his approval. However Bertie quotes from
The Woman Who Braved All and persuades him to support the marriage. As he leaves, Bertie tells Bingo and his wife, who are waiting outside the room, that they can talk to Lord Bittlesham now. Bingo later comes to Bertie in distress and says that his wife, spotting the same book Bertie quoted from, told Lord Bittlesham that she was Rosie M. Banks. She had been working as a waitress to gather material for a book and had not told Bingo because she was touched that Bingo loved her regardless. At first Lord Bittlesham calls her an imposter, but she proves her claim. Bittlesham is angry with Bertie and Bingo for fooling him. Rosie is also upset with Bertie for pretending to be her. Jeeves suggests that Bertie go hunting in Norfolk while Jeeves stays behind to sort things out. Bertie does not enjoy himself in Norfolk and returns to London. He goes directly to Bingo's place to find out what has happened and meets Lord Bittlesham there. Bertie fears a scene but Bittlesham acts awkwardly. Afterwards Bertie sees Bingo, who says that his uncle and Rosie get along very well now. On Jeeves's advice Bingo told his uncle that Bertie is mentally unsound and everyone was fooled by Bertie's delusion. Bingo got the nerve specialist
Sir Roderick Glossop, who has had several bizarre run-ins with Bertie, to verify this claim. Indignant to be made out to be mentally unsound, Bertie intends to fire Jeeves. He cannot bring himself to, however, when he considers how right it feels to see Jeeves in the flat. Instead he simply thanks Jeeves. ==Publication history==
