Getting two rowdy undergraduate twins out of London should be a simple matter of logistics. But when the twins in question are Claude and Eustace, departure becomes a high art form of creative procrastination. In The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace, family duty comes knocking on Bertie Wooster's door in its most terrifying shape: Aunt Agatha.
