So, yeah. This blasted bunny has been gnawing on my ankle, but I've no time at all to write it up, so I'm wondering if any of you stalwart chaps can take it off my hands.
And if you haven't read The Picture of Dorian Gray, then you should. It's Oscar Wilde, okay? It is that good.
I'm looking forward to seeing if anyone takes this up!
Whilst doing a research project on The Picture of Dorian Gray (oh, the subtext! ^_^), I discovered a scene where the darkly witty Lord Henry Wotton goes to see, on separate occasions, his Uncle George and his Aunt Agatha. Familiar, ne? And Wotton does sound awfully close to Wooster...
So the idea, should you choose to accept it, is: what would happen if Bertie were drawn into the company (and all that entails ^_~) of his distant cousin Lord Henry and the magnetic (and very dangerous) charisma of one Dorian Gray? Would Jeeves be able to head off the corrupting influence, or would Dorian succeed in coaxing the innocent Bertie into the very depths of depravity, leaving Jeeves to pick up the pieces?
...yes, I'm an angstbunny, I admit it. But really, the possibilities are myriad! The best part is that Wilde never mentioned dates in the novel, so the timeline is fairly fluid.
