The quote comes from here (https://books.google.com/books?id=xU0jCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT37&lpg=PT37&dq=stanley+holloway+jeeves&source=bl&ots=1QOjOtc9cH&sig=1j8anCa0OxZdzj-9wDW9nR3N3uM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWxtWc_cPSAhUG7oMKHX3pD4AQ6AEIHjAC#v=onepage&q=stanley%20holloway%20jeeves&f=false). Apparently this is something Wodehouse discussed with Guy Bolton in the 1960s, at which point Stanley Holloway would have been a lot older than the perpetually 40-year-old Jeeves that Wodehouse claimed to imagine in some of his interviews from around the same time. I don't know if he was picturing a younger Stanley Holloway in the role or if he just didn't care that much about Jeeves's age.
A shorter-than-Agatha Jeeves would be very interesting indeed, although I recall Jeeves being described as tall in the books.
