Buried Treasure (short story)
- Buried Treasure (short story)
"Buried Treasure" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, which first appeared in the United Kingdom in the September 1936 issue of the "Strand", and in the United States in the September 27 1936 edition of "This Week", under the title "Hidden Treasure". It is another tale told by pub raconteur Mr Mulliner, concerning a member of his large family, and it was included in the UK collection "Lord Emsworth and Others", (1937).
Plot
Mr Mulliner's nephew Brancepeth wants to marry his beloved Muriel, but hasn't a sou to do it on, so her father Lord Bromborough is forcing her to marry the boob of the first water Edwin Potter (heir of Potter's Potted Meats). Bromborough has a weakness, though: his great moustache Joyeuse, which he compares favorably to Love in Idleness, the facial decoration of Potter's father Sir Preston. Having been invited to Rumpling Hall to paint a portrait of Lord Bromborough, Brancepeth realizes that if he can turn a moustachless Bromborough into an animated cartoon in Hollywood, fame, fortune, and Muriel are his.
