Looking For Research Clues

[woffproff.livejournal.com]

What-ho, lovely people!

I'm been working on some things for my Sherlockian scion, with the hopes of producing something worthy to submit to the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes, to try to gain admission to that august group. I've written a small piece for my scion on the interesting comparisons between Holmes and Jeeves, and I wondered if anyone has ever uncovered any literary suggestion (in stories, pastiches, scholarship, general ramblings, whatever!) that Holmes could have been Jeeves' father. What (if anything) do we know about Jeeves' parents---he seems to have uncles and aunts by the score, but I can't come up with anything off the top of my brain about his folks---except for the one line where he says his mother thought he was intelligent.

Anyway, I'm thinking about playing around with the idea, and was just curious if it had been done before, and if so, where.

Many many thanks ahead of time!

Well, I know she appears in Aunt's Aren't Gentlemen, as the owner of a certain cat. I'd have to check about the being-sick thing though - that might be from another story.

Also, crap, I really fail at close-tags, don't I? >

Ah, that would explain why I didn't remember, since I've only read that book once, months ago.
