书虫1级 都是管家惹的祸

管家詹姆斯对“先生”总是唯命是从。他总是说：“好的，先生。”这一点使他成为一个好管家。可是有一天，“先生”吩咐詹姆斯做一件很不寻常的事，詹姆斯有没有遵命照办呢?

大多数办事员对上司也是唯命是从。他们知道有什么事情是该做的，有什么事情是不该做的。他们说：“得照章办事。”这可害苦了到办证处给宠物猴子办许可证的老兄!

罗杰的问题是没什么钱，他富有的女朋友却为他迟迟不求婚而烦恼。事情似乎很容易解决，不过就像书中其他短剧一样，问题可要复杂得多，也有趣得多。

Things go wrong, and funny things happen, in these six short plays. There is always something which causes problems for someone.

James, the butler, always does what 'sir' tells him. 'Very good, sir,' he says. That's what makes him a good butler. But one day 'sir' asks James to do something very unusual. Does James do it or not?

Most office workers do what their employer tells them, too. They know exactly what people must or must not do. 'Rules are rules,' they say. This makes life difficult for the man with the monkey, when he visits the licensing office!

Roger's problem is that he hasn't got much money. His rich girlfriend's problem is that he hasn't asked her to marry him. There seems to be an easy answer, but as in all these plays, things are more difficult, and much funnier, than that.
