Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在垂钓者憩息地,喝着一杯苏格兰热柠檬茶闲聊,最了不起的健谈者伍德豪斯就坐在其间。酒吧女招待波斯特韦特小姐的出现,让马利纳先生生动的想象力更为添彩,他讲述着自己远道而来家族离奇般的寓言故事:尤其是威尔弗雷德,从‘Buck-U-Uppo’,一种能让大象从容面对老虎的一种药剂的配方中,研发了‘Raven Gypsy’牌面霜和‘Snow of the Mountain’牌润肤乳。这个故事对年轻腼腆的助理牧师和高级神职人员来说,绝对具有震撼性的作用。还有一个是关于他堂弟詹姆斯的故事,他是一位侦探小说作家,却继承了一幢群魔乱舞的闹鬼小屋。还有Isadore Zinzinheimer,一位超级电影公司的老板。这是伍德豪斯所有故事中最为出彩的一个故事。(Sandy)
