More About The Bishop's Jaegers
She had one of those twisty minds that find no difficulty in sublimating their meanest little impulses to almost dizzily ethical heights. Thorne Smith, The Bishop's Jaegers // All her years of maturity had been devoted either to distorting or side-stepping the less agreeable facts motivating her self-indulgent conduct.

I thought this was one of the silliest books I ever tried to read. I assume that the young lady was trying to win her boss over, but the plot was so daft & disconnected that it wasn't worth bothering about. Since this book was published in 1932 and seems to be one of a series, I can only assume that this is a case of chronological differences.... This one is a hoot! Take one part screwball comedy, mix it with bedroom farce, stir in some typical outrageous Thorne Smith situations (such as the seemingly mandatory court appearance and being held prisoner in a nudist camp), and you have a brisk romp that kept me chuckling. Perhaps a better measure is that if you are not in the mood... I don't know. Maybe in the 30's this was good, but a friend lent it to me telling me it was sooo funny. Felt like an assignment to me.
