Oh yes, they're spawning. *backs into corner, waves carrot pleadingly*
I know! I practically sneaked up to the counter with my sweater pulled up to my ears (would have turned my coat collar up, but wasn't wearing a coat.)
The 1928 editions (my newly-acquired Saki omnibus is considerably newer) are teh spiff, pocket-sized, and were apparantly owned by a lady called Mollie Dickinson, as her name is written in careful cursive and blue ink on the flyleaves of both books. ^^ Awesome.
I'm thinking Reginald/Jeeves/The Other, or possibly Reginald/Mike/Psmith/the Other. I have this fascination with the Other, as you can tell. He's supposed to be Reginald's gay-male-lover-that-dare-not-speak-his-name, right?
Wow. All these years of thinking that Edwardian subtext is unintentional, and then...BOOM. Completely intended subtext! :D Joy!
(I'm not counting Jeeves and the Tie that Binds. That's not subtext. That's text. Even my mom agrees, and who says she's not in charge? ^^ Likewise with Brideshead Revisited. Oh Charles, you and your silly attempts at being heterosexual.)
Yes, it's impossible for me to leave short comments. I apologize. XD
