Weekly Drabble challenge

[momentarylapse8.livejournal.com]

Rules:

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.

I have seen that one but not read it yet... I have been trying to save some fics for later days.

Perhaps Aunt Agatha had a behind-the-scenes lackey and is afraid that Jeeves will derail his/her work? But it does seem that intelligent women do not care for Jeeves in the least and women of normal or middling or lesser intelligence think him quite OK, really.

I breeze through fic in what free days I squeeze in (I had a lot more free days in summer, alas)... So I've gone through a lot of fic. It is almost alarming, the Jooster word count I must have read. I keep fearing I'm actually going to run out, but then I find a new recs page and file it away for perusal. lol

Yes, I've noticed intelligent women are quite put off by Jeeves. I think they're subconsciously aware he's quite a massive threat to their anarchy tyranny own influence over Bertie events. Normal women--like normal aunts, I suppose?--are less interested in Bertie so they don't need to worry about Jeeves, who in those instances is at worst an invisible valet and at best someone who's thinking up grand schemes to get them out of trouble. I rather expect Bertie's right and Jeeves could be Prime Minister if he wanted to be.

Hey--

So, I just read Thank-you, Jeeves this morning and, well, it seems that Jeeves is not always 100% successful with other employers. Mr. Stoker, for example, does not seem to like the way he talks at all, and in Ring for Jeeves, he makes a few blunders. Shocking. Deeply shocking to my tender sensiblities

I completely agree that intelligent women seem not to like Jeeves's influence over Bertie, but they also (in the books) seem more upset because he has ideas above his station more than that they have less influence over Bertie (because that's certainly not the case). Aunt Agatha gets upset because Jeeves is totally not an invisible valet.

I also totally agree that Aunt Dahlia is not interested in Bertie

But then other women (like Pauline Stoker and Jill in Ring for Jeeves, Rosie M. Banks, and Bobbie Wickham) all really like Jeeves... and they kind of are all perfectly OK with Bertie (even if they think he's a bit stupid). And these women are totally not unintelligent. What do you think about the idea that these intelligent women don't like intellectual competition?

Huh... or maybe it's the molding? The intelligent women realize they can't mold Bertie as long as Jeeves is protecting him?

Confused.
