Thank you for these. I read the book very recently myself, but it's always nice to be steeped in J&W!
The issue of Jeeves's age struck me too when I read this book. Obviously, it's post WW2, and Jeeves mentions that he 'dabbled to a certain extent' in WW1. Yet, as you say, Jeeves doesn't come across at all as being an old man. So, at a push, Jeeves could have been born around the turn of the century, making him 50ish in RfJ.
Is there ever any definitive mention of birth dates?
