Welcome to Part Eleven of Mark's nightly audio adventure: The Girl on the Boat, a comic romp from 1922 by P G Wodehouse. In tonight's episode, set at the family home in Bruton Street (where the late Queen was born at Number Seventeen just four years after this book - see picture at right), our hero is contemplating an uneventful dinner with his pop but finds that events prove rather more fraught.
Members of The Mark Steyn Club can hear Mark read Part Eleven of The Girl on the Boat simply by clicking here and logging-in.
We like both reality and fictional fancies here at SteynOnline, but there's nothing healthier than taking a short break from the ever more implausible plot-twists of the news-cycle and exploring the delights of our Tales for Our Time home page. It's configured in Netflix tile style, with the stories organised by category - thrillers, fantasy, romance, etc - which we hope will make it easy for you to find a favourite diversion of an evening. You can access almost seventy cracking capers here - and all previous episodes of our current adventure here.
If you've yet to hear any of our Tales for Our Time, you can do so by joining The Mark Steyn Club and enjoy our nightly audio adventures every evening twenty minutes before lowering your lamp - or hoard the episodes and binge-listen at the weekend or on a long car journey. For more details on that and other benefits to Steyn Club membership, see here - and don't forget our special Gift Membership: it makes a fun birthday present.
Please join Mark right here tomorrow evening for another episode of The Girl on the Boat.
We thank all our members - and especially those who've signed up a chum for a SteynOnline Gift Certificate or a Steyn Club Gift Membership. Steyn Clubbers span the globe, from London, Ontario to London, England to London, Kiribati. We hope to welcome many more new members in the years ahead.
