This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "Psmith in the City" follows the adventures of cricket-loving Mike Jackson and his immaculately-dressed friend Psmith. Playing cricket for a team run by Psmith's father, Mike meets John Bickersdyke for the first time when he walks behind the bowler's arm, causing Mike to get out on ninety-eight. "Psmith, Journalist" continues the adventures of the silver-tongued Psmith and his friend Mike Jackson. The story begins with Psmith accompanying his fellow Cambridge student Mike to New York on a cricketing tour. Through high spirits and force of personality, Psmith takes charge of a minor periodical, and becomes imboiled in a scandal involving slum landlords, boxing and gangsters – the story displays a strong social conscience, rare in Wodehouse's generally light-hearted works.
