Does anyone know which six stories this volume contains?

This is a self-contained series of stories, co-written with C. H.
Bovill, about a man named Roland Bleke, originally published in the
Strand magazine in 1914 and in Pictorial Review (U.S.) in 1916. They're
not collected in any of the classic Wodehouse short story collections,
and first appeared in book form in 1991 published by Porpoise Books.
Since they're no longer under USA copyright, other publishers in America
can bring out versions without the approval of the Wodehouse estate.

The episode titles in Strand were
1: The Landlady's Daughter (April 1914)
2: The Bolt from the Blue (May)
3: The Episode of the Theatrical Venture (June)
4: The Episode of the Live Weekly (July)
5: The Episode of the Exiled Monarch (August)
6: The Episode of the Hired Past (September)

No. 2 in Pictorial Review was titled "The Episode of the Financial
Napoleon"; other titles were similar to the Strand ones.
