Jeeves and the Birdcatcher's Costume by WyvernQuill for idanit
Fandoms: Jeeves & Wooster (TV 1990), Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse
25 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
But here, now, was my chance. I was not the young master to Jeeves now - in fact, Jeeves, in his current role, had no y. m. at all. He was a gentleman of means and breeding, and I a rather fantastically attired birdcatcher of presumably Viennese extraction; and two such fellows could hold a conversation without any wayward “sirs” inserting themselves where they were not wanted.
Or: In which a gentleman and his valet both attend a masquerade under false pretences.

Summary
My daughter, I know you no longer believe in the five gods. You have told me many times that this faith is something left best behind in childhood. That it dies in stillbirths and illness and all the ills the gods never keep away. I know that these stories will not make a new made convert you any more than you can return to childhood, and what a horrible thing that would be.
Tell yourself instead that I collected them for you as entertainment. Even if you have no faith in the Father or Mother, have faith that this Mother loves you.- Language:

Summary
“You’ve both forgotten again, haven’t you? All right, then, I’ll start from the beginning, and sincerely hope that it is the last time I will have to do it. I’m Mrs. Ariadne Oliver. Yes, the writer, no, I haven’t got time to sign books...I know that you’re a doctor and you’re a mechanic - ” A row of bangle bracelets clinked faintly against each other as she waved her hand first at George and then at Knocker - “which means that you’re both analytical and intelligent and have useful skills. And I overheard you trying to figure out what was going on, which means that neither of you are responsible for this mess."
In which something very odd happens on the train from Cardiff to London, and George Arbuthnot and Knocker Beadon get caught up in another caper to help set it right. But even when they have infinite loops of time, will they be able to get around to admitting how they feel about each other?

What should have been a quiet day out with perhaps only a proposal of marriage to mar it turns into something quite different, when a gang of thieves resorts to an unexpected way to ensure their getaway. It wasn't bromide in the tea...
