Maddy vs. Madeline

I went back as far as skip?=120 in the questions tag and feel like that's enough for any sane person, but I still apologize if this has been asked before:

Does Bertie ever refer to Madeline Bassett as "Maddy" in the stories, or is this just fanon from the By Jeeves musical? I just did a quick search through a bunch of Jeeves Omnibuses I have in ebook form, and I only see her referred to as Madeline. IS MY ENTIRE LIFE A LIE?

I definitely do not recall him ever calling her Maddy! That's a little too fond/chummy for the kind of relationship they had in the books, I think.

However, I'm pretty sure he called Florence "Flossie" at one point and got snapped at for it.

He never calls her Maddy. I would notice if he did because my niece is named Maddy.

Most often when referring to her (not when speaking to her) it's "La Bassett," if that helps.
