Thank you :-) I rather wondered if people would get it... but yes - If Bertie is a clever womanizer ( or just rather a charming letch) and Jeeves is the long-suffering but clearly-not-jealous enabler then clearly - CLEARLY - any and all other rumors that might start around are vicious libel. (I was actually inspired by some of the 'defenses' of the time, many of which came down to 'but I'm his girlfriend' or even 'but he's been seen with women' - and which evidently (Pun very much intended!) persuaded the juries of the day.
