"The Adventures of Sally" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around Sally Nicholas, a lively and optimistic young woman who is coming into a legacy of $25,000, and her entertaining experiences navigating the social landscape around her, particularly as she prepares to leave her boarding house and embrace a new phase in life. The opening of the book introduces Sally at a farewell dinner party at Mrs. Meecher's boarding house, where the guests discuss her inheritance and offer various suggestions about how she should spend it. Sally's brother, Fillmore, is present but adds an air of pretentiousness with his inflated sense of self-importance after gaining wealth. The lively conversation is a mix of wit and awkward moments, showcasing Sally’s warm nature as she interacts with her friends. Alongside her humorous encounters, the narrative sets the tone for Sally's anticipation of her upcoming journey, her thoughts on love, and her sweet, yet complicated dynamics with those around her, particularly with characters like her brother and potential romantic interests.
