SUMMARY: Wooster is positive Jeeves knows.

He knows.

How could he bally well not know, is my question. Jeeves undoubtedly eats all manner of fish, morning, noon, and night, after all. To think that I could keep this secret from him, after all the years he's been in my service would be a laugh -- no, an insult -- to his good sense.

That the Wooster heart has chosen a new soul upon which to bestow its affections is not a new occurrence, but the shape of said s. would certainly be cause for alarm.

The only happy thought I had out of the whole rummy thing was that Jeeves would not have to extricate me from another engagement.

No, the situation was much worse. For he to have to suffer his employer's longing gaze...

I should let him go. It would only be right.

The horror of the thought that I would do without Jeeves came upon me rather like a bally shade as soon as the sun fell.

But, at the same time... the Wooster eyes slid over and appraised him.

Jeeves was shimmering around the room, rearranging pictures and tea trays and that sort of thing, seemingly unaware of the eyes following his every move.

He was a tall chap, with dark hair and sort of chameleon blue eyes that could change to a very dark color in just the right light. Full of frame and figure, the only deficiency seemed to be a crooked nose -- won from a tustle in his boyhood, no doubt. His hands, with long, full fingers, manipulated the smallest picture frame with the greatest of ease.

I dare say it was his hands that I noticed first, and then his arms. Strong, stalwart specimens, his arms. Able to lift the young master's worries or a tea tray with nary a problem. My first inkling that my feelings for Jeeves had ventured beyond the old feudal spirit was when I had first wished he would fold me in his arms and never let go.

Feeling the weight in my chest return, I sagged back into the old armchair, sucked some more on my cup of tea, and sighed heavily. "I say, Jeeves. Has there ever been a day when you wonder whether or not to go back to bed and wait for tomorrow to come, what?"

"I must confess to having such urges, yes." Jeeves replied, turning to face me. "Do you wish to return to bed, sir?"

I glanced up at him and shook my head. "No, no. I think I'll go down to the Drones club, see who's in, what."

A line appeared between Jeeves' eyebrows, but he didn't comment. "Very good, sir."

"Right ho, then," I said, getting up the steam before standing and grabbing my coat. "I'm off then."

Jeeves nodded. "Very good, sir."

When I closed the door behind me, I felt this horrid sensation that things were going to change.

Dun dun DUN! What a lovely Bertie voice! And "I must confess to having such urges," HA!

Pimp!Stephen! Hee!

And hey, thanks for the comment! I was worried about how Bertie's voice sounded. :)

[cicerothewriter.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I love your Wooster's voice. I look forward to reading what happens next.

*squeep*

His hands, with long, full fingers, manipulated the smallest picture frame with the greatest of ease.

*wants to be a picture frame for a bit*

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Crooked noses are character building and stuff.

And I think just about everybody wants to be that picture frame.

:D

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Oh, very cool.

I'd love to read more :)

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[day221b.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Loved the Wooster-voice. My only complaint, (if you could call it that) is that there's not enough of it. More please!

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm used to writing longer stuff, and I was a little disappointed at how little this was, but I'll try my best to write more! I promise!

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Keep going, keep going! *S*

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

:D

Psst. I'm hoping this will lead into my AU idea.

[captainpellew.livejournal.com]

ARRRGH! CLIFFHANGER!!!

If you do not produce the next installment, and quickly, I shall come after you with the axe I keep in my sock drawer.

You have been warned.

[shenth.livejournal.com]

You mean the one for when we go back in time?

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

...

I have people threatening me with bodily harm if I don't continue?

...

eee yay!

::wonders if she's correct in assuming that the axe is a Spode reference::

[magegirl8.livejournal.com]

ditto on what captainpellew said. oohh boy, i want more...

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Awww. *blush*

[tboy.livejournal.com]

"Do you wish to return to bed, sir?"

Say yes! Say yes! Sa... oh, you idiot Bertie!

It seems Jeeves has his work cut out for him, yet again. Shall we just imagine how he gets on with it, or do you think you'll be giving him a hand? ;-)

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

*wide eyes*

You! You're tboy! Someone I can't remember at the moment has mentioned you in their LJ posts a while back! HI!

As for Jeeves and what's going to happen after this, I have plans, though I have to admit to being a bit intimidated by such a positive response thus far. :D

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

A very promising start. I do hope you'll write more. :) You're very good at writing Wooster-speak, especially in his description of Jeeves.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Aww, shucks. Thanks! Glad I could entertain. :D

[chairman-wow.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that was lovely. :D Write more, write more - I beseech you!

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Woooow! Another comment! Yay!

Glad I could entertain! *bows humbly*

[maenaine.livejournal.com]

HeHe! I like it. I like it. Now that I've finally watched some of Jeeves and Wooster, I know what's going on. Yay. Shall have to read more later.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Dude! You read one!

*blushes and smiles sheepishly*

Glad you liked.

[wickedblackbird.livejournal.com]

ah dear, poor pining bertie... :-) i'm always amazed by people's ability to get bertie's voice right. i've read the wodehouse stories since i was fairly young, but have never mastered the quirks of his style.
