Well, I'm not so sure about nothing bad happening in Plum universe, either. I always got the impression everything HAD happened, but that either because it waas just glossed over, or because of the circles Bertie just happened to be in, you never really got more than glimpses of it. Jeeves makes a couple of references, though, and some trouble among Bertie's friends is that the money they were used to having isn't there anymore. And what was that last book where Jeeves went to work for someone else (Lord Towcester? Rowcester?) and Bertie having to learn to stand on his own two feet.

Poor him. Like that'd ever work.
