Weekly Drabble challenge
Nov. 2nd, 2012 07:29 pmRules:
1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.
RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)
PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible.

“Indeed, sir?” Bertie sighed.
“I’m sorry for…” Bertie had no idea. “Whatever has you so bally pipped, no sympathy to be had…” An eyebrow quirked. “Dash it! Did I forget your birthday?”
“Yours.”
“Oh, but, I don’t…” Bertie looked down, “…they…parents.”
The mattress dipped. Gentle hands took the tea and folded Bertie into a warm embrace. “I bought you some purple socks.” Jeeves whispered.
“Thank-you, Reg.”
“You’re welcome, darling.”
“Can we have a tumble now?”
“You can only wear them in the flat.”
“Or maybe a naked snuggle.”
“Not your club.”
“Right now?”
“With great pleasure.”

Date: 2012-11-08 06:45 pm (UTC)Well at least in this drabble he has Jeeves to give him comfort, and purple socks too (even if he can only where them in the flat.)

The paragon of valets looked up patiently. “Yes, sir?” Bertie quivered like a plucked bowstring. “Do you require something?” The Jeevesian eyes narrowed as he took in the splotches of paint and paste on the green with faint grey twill. “Something is amiss with your suit, sir. May I be of assistance?”
“Yes, indeed, Jeeves. You do a knock-up copperplate.”
“Thank-you, sir.” Jeeves suppressed a groan at the mess. Where had he gotten paint and paste?
“I’ll help you clean up, Jeeves.”
“That will not be necessary, sir.”
“An extra snuggle?”
“Perhaps a few.”
“Right ho, Jeeves.”

Date: 2012-11-08 06:42 pm (UTC)Mr. Wooster had been seriously ill and it was the previous night that his fever had broken. It had been too close. If Mr. Little had not barged into the flat and then proceeded to send a telegram bringing me home, things could have turned out horribly different.
“Sir?”
At the sound of my voice his eyes opened. “Jeeves.” His voice was barely a whisper but he smiled brightly. “Now that you’re here, I might just pull through.”
“I will make certain of it, sir,” I promised him. I then moved to help him sit up and drink his tea.

Date: 2012-11-08 08:13 pm (UTC)Um.. you know I didn't think of that. Hm... perhaps Bertie (before he got sick) mentioned where Jeeves was vacationing, or maybe Jeeves was only a short distance away like at Brinkley Manor and Bingo knew that?

Date: 2012-11-10 02:05 am (UTC)"Please, sir, go back to bed. I shall be perfectly—HHWWOOOOLLLGG!"
"Yes, you will be perfectly hwolg, and that's why I'm here. You don't really think I'd leave you all here alone to be sick, do you?"
"It would undoubtedly be in your best interests. Thank you, sir."
"Rinse your mouth with that, I've got ginger beer to settle your stomach.'
"Sir, I…"
"Pish and tosh, Jeeves! You take excellent care of me, the least I can do is soothe your fevered brow and keep your disarrayed locks out of the commode."
"Thank you, sir. I shall be better directly."

Date: 2012-11-29 07:45 am (UTC)“I might be getting the hang of this cooking wheeze, old thing.” Bertie’s smile was slightly nervous as he carried the tray into Jeeves’ room. “Tea and toast. Just the thing when you’re sick, what?”
Flushed with fever and miserable, Jeeves looked torn between pained and pleased. The dark brown toast looked much more appetising than the small slab of home-made charcoal he’d been offered the previous morning.
“Sir, you really need not—” Jeeves began, but Bertie interrupted with determined cheer.
“I know, Jeeves, but I want to.”
Unable to refuse Bertie’s earnest kindness, Jeeves murmured, “Thank you, sir.”

"I say, Jeeves, are you ill?"
"Only a reaction, sir. I fear the pollen hereabouts does not agree with me," said Jeeves, dabbing at his nose with a handkerchief. It really was dashed odd to see the fellow looking perfectly miserable, with streaming eyes and a nose as red as if he'd quaffed one too many last night.
"Well, for goodness' sake don't work too hard, will you? Tell you what, I'll make you some tea or soup-"
"Sir, that will not be necessary," said Jeeves, and sprang towards the kettle as if the hounds of war were after him.
