Summary:
Life is a rummy thing. One moment you're trying to stay awake whilst Lady Helen bellows an aria when suddenly the beazel is hurtling towards you with a rather sharp knife in her outstretched hand. It was dashed distressing but I had no need to fear because Merlin - my man, you know - managed to biff her over the head with the help of a falling chandelier.
Recommended because: Manages to somehow blend Merlin and P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories into a delicious smoothie of awesomeness.
