The Little Nugget

In a bustling London hotel, an impatient American socialite named Mrs. Ford paces the suite, clutching a tiny, rather unflattering portrait of her son—affectionately dubbed the “Little Nugget.” Her restless mood and a sudden telephone call set the stage for a series of well‑meaning but tangled schemes. Enter Lord Mountry, a dashing yet slightly bewildered young aristocrat, who arrives to discuss a plan that could change the boy’s future.

The conversation quickly turns to a leisurely yacht cruise, a chance to showcase the boy’s talents and to give a struggling artist a foothold in high society. As the characters juggle etiquette, ambition, and the odd mishap, the atmosphere brims with Wodehouse’s signature wit. Listeners will be drawn into a light‑hearted intrigue that promises more humorous complications than the calm of a seaside voyage.
