Laughing Gas is a comic novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on 25 September 1936 by Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on 19 November 1936 by Doubleday, Doran, New York. Written in first person narrative, the story is set in Hollywood in the early 1930s (the Depression is mentioned twice) and is, compared to, say, Budd Schulberg's What Makes Sammy Run? (1941), a light-hearted and exclusively humorous look at the film industry and in particular at child stars. Both Schulberg and Wodehouse describe the methods of all those would-be screenwriters and actors hunting for jobs, but Wodehouse's depiction is not at all serious or critical.

Plot summary
Drone Reginald ("Reggie") Swithin, narrator of the story, is the third Earl of Havershot. He is 28, unmarried, and has a face like a gorilla. As the new head of his family, he is assigned a delicate task by his Aunt Clara and by Plimsoll, the family lawyer: He is to go to Hollywood and look for Aunt Clara's son, his cousin Eggy, who seems to have got himself into trouble, and bring him back home. In particular, Reggie is to prevent Eggy from getting engaged, let alone married, to some American gold-digger who would undoubtedly be far beneath the titled family.

Finally a knife set that I love
Color: Black, Color: Black
I’ve been needing a new knife set that also came with steak knives and these are great! Very durable, has a nice weight to it, doesn’t feel cheap, great price and they came very sharp! Bonus points for coming with scissors and whatever that sharpening thingy is. Haven’t used that yet bc I don’t know how but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

Shockingly Good
Style: Heavy Duty, Style: Heavy Duty
If you’re like me (cheap), shopping for silverware is painful because it is either ridiculously overpriced or affordable yet garbage. I’m quite pleased to report that this set is very decent quality and is a fantastic value for the price, the pieces all have a little bit of weight to them, so they do not feel cheap in your hand, yet they are not these bloated, Henry the eighth hammers that are uncomfortably heavy. They are well balanced and seem to be durable..
