THE FIERY WOOING OF MORDRED, by P.G. Wodehouse

P.G. Wodehouse, the well-known British humorist, has created many enduring characters. One of those is Mr. Mulliner, who has endless nephews.

In this short story Mordred Mulliner falls in love with a girl who lives in a white elephant of a country home. At least it's heavily insured. When he visits her all his competitors are big-game hunter types. Morosely, he retires to write a poem. What a pity that he's got this absent-minded habit of tossing his cigarettes into the waste-paper basket.
