The Smile That Wins By P.G. Wodehouse
The Smile that Wins is a short story by the British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse and is a part of the Mr. Mulliner series.
Adrian Mulliner, a private detective, falls in love with Lady Millicent Shipton-Bellinger, the daughter of the fifth Earl of Brangbolton who has a horror of detectives ever since Millecent's Uncle Joe's troubles in 1928. The father insists that Millicent must marry Sir Jasper Addleton, the financier.
Heartbroken, Adrian has a bad attack of dyspepsia and a doctor advises him that the best cure for dyspepsia is to smile. Adrian, who hasn't smiled since he was twelve, has a smile that seems to say 'I know all' and causes a great deal of nervousness amongst people with something to hide. The Smile That Wins
