DRABBLE: What Else Is A Wooster To Do When Whatsits Go Bump In The Bally Night?
Jeeves woke after midnight to the tapping on his hotel room door, surprised at a wide-eyed, wild-haired, trembling Wooster on the other side.
In bare feet and an inside-out dressing gown, Bertie tried to explain why he was there, teeth chattering with cold or fear—possibly both.
Jeeves put a concerned hand to Bertie’s tense shoulder just as a barely-audible ululating moan echoed up the stairwell from the darkness, but it was the pale shape forming in mid-air behind Bertie that decided Jeeves on the instant.
Morning found them still huddled beneath the duvet, sound asleep in each other’s arms.
