Jeeves & Wooster: Ghost: Gen

Title: Ghost
Fandom: Jeeves and Wooster
Rating: Gen
Notes: part two of a (hopefully) nine-part series where Bertie muses on life while in the bath; reference to the order of service of the 1918 Nine Lessons and Carols at King's College and the carol sung then called 'Blessed be that Maid Marie.'


“Sweet and blissful was the song / Chanted of the Angel throng, Jeeves.”


“So I understand, sir.”
Compromise is another of life’s lesson. When men of iron wills live in close quarters like Jeeves and self, clashes are inevitable.

Take Christmas. I’m for decking the halls while Jeeves is solidly in the ‘are there no workhouses?’ camp, viz. three ghosts and a pal in chains would never win him over.

He allows some hidebound holly and ivy about the flat, but when I want to run with the deer and rise with the sun, I biff off to the Drones.

Hee! Such a lovely turn of phrase and very appropriate for Jeeves.

Thank you! Jeeves is canonically lacking in Yuletide spirit. I'd love to do a Christmas Carol AU with him as Scrooge.
