Quick Service by P G Wodehouse

A complete new set of characters and a new location but similar plot (romance in country, burgling of portrait, etc) and similar set of characters (an out and out optimist spreading sweet and lightness, a pessimist with a digestive problem, a subtle valet, a guy who doesn't believe in marriage but finds himself engaged to the most beautiful and sweet girl, etc). A wholesome entertainer.

Service with a Smile by P G Wodehouse

Lord Emsworth and the pig Empress; Emsworth's sister Lady Constance; Emsworth's secretary Lavendar Briggs; Finally, Lord Ickenham in Blandings Castle. A sure-fire recipe for a great comedy! Unavoidable.
