Jeeves’ musings regarding his employer.
A short comic, that came from how often Bertie is used and made a fool of in the books and series; of course this is a big comical pillar of J&W, but I started to think of how much it could weight on Bertie, and, after years of service and the deepening of their bond, on Jeeves. Hopefully the writing is decent enough, and I am sure I am not the first to explore such an idea. I will transcribe the text for easier viewing:
“A great number of words has been written on the subject of my employer, Mr. Wooster, and his various misadventures.
Many a gentleman or lady come knocking at our door, calling for my employer's aid...
Whether that be in the form of a favour…
Mr. Wooster has, for this reason, been described in many accounts (and very often by himself) as foolish, naive, and lacking spine.
On one occasion, I myself must admit to having referred to him as “mentally negligible". This declaration, in truth, revealed much more of my character than that of Mr. Wooster.
For the truth is that Mr. Wooster happens to be kind, instead of brilliantly cutting; good natured, instead of respectably distant; and caring, instead of decorously cold.
No, he’s not a fool at all.
These may not be the traits of the proper gentleman; but they are those of a good man, one I am proud to stand beside.
So I shall strive to follow his example, and be kinder; and be more goodnatured; and (this, in truth, comes easier to me when it comes to him), to show my care, and the regard which I hold for him above all others.”
