A story about Jarvis

I don't know why, but on a whim the other day I decided that a story about Jarvis the Doorman needed to exist. Now one does.

Well done. I'm always happy to see minor characters take the main stage, and I like to see how they interact with Jeeves in particular.

Thanks!

I've always found it very interesting to try and imagine what other characters think of Jeeves. Bertie is prone to hyperbole as a narrator, so I often wonder if Jeeves is really as wonderful to others as Bertie seems to think. When left to his own devices Jeeves strikes me as a very dark, malicious sort of character, actually. It could just be me.

I see him as rather a dark character, too, all by choice.

For fun, I imagine him visiting Downton Abbey with Bertie. I'm quite certain he'd know how to deal with Miss O'Brien and Thomas Barrow.

Most definitely, a character like that does very little that isn't of his own volition.

Sadly, I have yet to watch Downton Abbey. I was speaking with my grandmother recently and she suggested I watch it, she said 'you'll like it, it's got servants and all that stuff in it'. I feel that I should rectify this very soon.
