Indiscretions of Archie 

This book tells the story of an impoverished, embarrassment-prone Drone Archibald ‘Archie’ Moffam (pronounced ‘Moom’), and his difficult relationship with his art-collecting, hotel-owning millionaire father-in-law Daniel Brewster. Archie’s attempts to ingratiate himself with Brewster only get him further into trouble.
