Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, chapter 1, Bertie's flat, early evening
Bertie, in the bath and dreading a dinner with Aunt Dahlia's Trotters, greets the returning Jeeves, who reads him Percy Gorringe's request for a thousand pounds to back his play of Florence Craye's Spindrift, and they agree to refuse.
The text is on its way.
Aside, every July Jeeves takes his annual holiday shrimping at Bognor Regis, leaving Bertie a shadow of himself.
Aside, ongoing Jeeves belongs to the Junior Ganymede, a club for butlers and valets in Curzon Street.
Aside, about a year before Florence Craye, Lord Worplesdon's daughter and now Aunt Agatha's stepdaughter, wrote the highbrow novel Spindrift.
