    Summary

    Following upon the events in The Importance of Biographies, Jeeves get shirty, Bertie gets crafty, and an alarming plan (or maybe a good half dozen) is announced. Things must get worse before they get better?
    - OR -
    The tale of how one typically infallible valet becomes so cold-footed about his feelings for his master that he runs off to another corner of the globe, and how one insufferably foolish master puts himself in the soupiest soup yet to win him back.

    Summary

    Jeeves as a musician beyond an unsurprising competence on the ivories was uncharted territory, and I could already feel the more musical parts of the Woosterian grey matter straining to draw deeper meaning from his instrument of choice, and batted them back with a less musical stick.

    [OR: The one where Jeeves plays clarinet, Bertie plays bassoon, and the Drones are having a concert tomorrow night.]

    Summary

    “It is young men like you, Bertie, who make the person with the future of the race at heart despair.”
    “As if anything you could say would have any weight with anobody.”
    “You always were a fat-headed worm without a soul, weren’t you?”
    "Mentally he is negligible - quite negligible."

    Bertram Wooster was not a man who minded a few harsh words. One had to be civil, of course. Agreeable. Tactful. Except… How many harsh words can one really take?

    Summary

    '“Good evening, Mr Wallace.” Came Jeeves’ cordial and very correct reply. I rather expected that to be the end of it, and I was hoping it too. I didn’t fancy appearing from a tree with Wallace hanging about. It engenders too many questions. “What were you doing up that tree?” being one of them.'

    For once it is Bertie who is in the know when it comes to a delicate tidbit of personal information. Now he perfectly understands the phrase 'ignorance is bliss'...
