he woos and elopes with Aggie Donaldson, daughter of Donaldson the U.S. dog-biscuit king. He moves to America to work for his father-in-law, becoming a successful part of the Dog-Joy empire, only returning occasionally to attend weddings or to push his products in the English market. Freddie and Aggie (short for "Niagara", where her parents honeymooned) now live in Great Neck, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island. (Wodehouse himself lived in Great Neck for a time, beginning in 1918.) Freddie's good fortune and business success changes his personality completely. When his father visits in the story "Birth of a Salesman", set three years after Freddie's marriage, Emsworth finds that "in those three years some miracle had transformed [Freddie] from a vapid young London lizard into a go-getter, a live wire and a man who thought on his feet and did it now." Freddie talks of nothing but Donaldson's Dog Joy—its health benefits for the modern dog, and his own part in spreading the word to eager dog owners. Emsworth is rattled by the thought that "after years of regarding this child as a drone and a wastrel, the child as now regarding him as one. A world's worker himself, Freddie eyed with scorn one who, like Lord Emsworth, neither toiled nor spun... And if there is one thing that pierces the armour of an English father of the upper classes it is to be looked down on by his younger son." Stung, Emsworth regains his confidence by helping a young woman sell richly bound encyclopedias of Sport door to door.
