"Oh very well, Jeeves"; or, another drabble

[wellinghall]

"I'm going to lunch at the Ritz with Aunt Dahlia, Jeeves."

"In that hat, sir? Besides, Mr Fink-Nottle has just rung to say that Miss Bassett has called off their engagement."

"Crikey, Jeeves! You know what this means, don't you?"

"Indeed, sir. May I suggest a long trip to the south of France? I have taken the liberty of booking two tickets on the boat train."

"Well done, Jeeves!"

"There is just one thing, sir. You will need to remain inconspicuous while on the beach. I am afraid that the hat will have to go."

"Oh very well, Jeeves."

:D As anticipated! ie fun! Though sometimes I wonder about Jeeves; I suspect him of rather being on the lookout for opportunities for trips to the south of France, or other pleasant places.

Thank you! :-)

And that attitude of Jeeves' is canonical; there is one story where he manoeuvres Bertie into taking a holiday in the Med.
