Fic help, please!

There are a few things I need to finish the last part of my fic. Since I'm not nearly as well-read or adept at Google-fu as you lovely ppl, I thought I'd ask what you would use in these sitchs:

1. Jeeves quotes something loving/adoring to Bertie as they, um, bask in the afterglow (more like: lay in exhausted stupor). Any suggestions?

2. Bertie says: ‘You were on top of me in [an instant], still fully clothed.’ 'Two shakes of a ducks tail' is a bit long. What Bertieism / flapper slang would you use here for 'an instant'? Answered! Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] thebirdmachine and [livejournal.com profile] bertiebwriting !

3. What pet name (aside from dream-rabbit) do you think Bertie would use for Jeeves?

I'd do 'in a flash'. I associate 'in a jiffy' with something more practical, such as 'I'll be there in a jiffy' or 'I'll have it for you in a jiffy', rather than just indicating speed of movement.

I don't think Bertie would actually say 'dream rabbit'. But having said that, I have nothing else to suggest.
