Speculation post.

Where would you see Bertie and Jeeves in the future? Canonically speaking *cough*. I just mean, can you envision Bertie ever getting married? Things like that. Little toddler Woosters running around? Or would he be indeed as Jeeves claims "not the marrying type" and happily live in his London flat for the rest of his life under the care of Jeeves?

I doubt Bertie would ever marry anyone for money. He's the second wealthiest member of the Drones Club, isn't he? After Oofy Prosser.

I really like that idea of Jeeves influencing the girl, though. I hadn't considered that before.

But why "far from her own household"? (Sorry to be a bother, I'm actually really interested. :) )

Well, fortunes do often change. And we were talking hypothetically. I can imagine a story in which he loses money somehow, through bad investments, for instance, and if it were a significant loss, he would likely need to shore it up through marriage rather than, say, working.

As for why far from her household, would you want to live with Bertie, really? (even with Jeeves as a go-between?) I suspect that Jeeves wouldn't want to live with the woman anymore than did Bertie, and it's not uncommon for people of some wealth to have multiple residences, and more than a few marriages of convenience work through dual households. Bertie already has a flat outside of his family manse, no?

And if you want to speculate that Bertie is gay, and that he and Jeeves would want to set up a household together, there were certainly more than a few lesbians out there with similar interests, and I'm sure that Jeeves could make discreet enquiries to find someone suitable.
