Florence Craye: Information from Answers.com (558 words)
Lady Florence, the daughter of Percy Craye, Earl of Worplesdon and elder sister to Edwin, a nasty little runtish type of lad, is the sometime fiancee of Bertie Wooster.
Lady Florence Craye is the authoress of one literary novel, "Spindrift," which receives some critical applause, and evidently allows her admittance to the Bloomsbury Group.
Florence's literary endeavours are referenced in several books, notably in a scene in "Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit," when she induces Bertie to take her to a garish nightclub for research purposes, and then manages to get him arrested when the club is raided.
Jeeves Takes Charge at AllExperts (1611 words)
At the time, he was engaged to Lady Florence Craye, who upon his departure from Easeby had given him a thick and complicatedly intellectual book entitled Types of Ethical Theory, expecting him to read it in the week before his return.
Jeeves notices a likeness of Lady Florence on Bertie's mantelpiece and comments on the eccentricity of her father, Lord Worplesdon, whose employ he left when his lordship insisted on dining in dress trousers, a flannel shirt, and a shooting coat.
Florence is outraged at her father's behaviour as a young man, and fears lest such disgraceful information become public.
