"The Politeness of Princes and Other School Stories" by P. G. Wodehouse is a collection of humorous short stories written in the early 20th century. The book features a variety of characters navigating the trials and tribulations of school life, weaving in themes of unpunctuality, competition, and the amusing dynamics of friendships among young boys at a British boarding school. At the start of the collection, the narrative focuses on G. Montgomery Chapple, a notoriously late student whose comedic struggles with punctuality lead him into trouble with his housemaster, Mr. Seymour. Throughout the opening portion, Chapple attempts various strategies to combat his chronic tardiness, enlisting the help of friends who suggest quirky solutions. Despite his efforts, including a misguided adjustment of his watch and a drastic reduction in bedclothes, he consistently fails to improve his situation, leading to escalating consequences and a humorous portrayal of the pressures faced by students in a school setting.
