But even in the presence of Aunt Dalia they are very bold in their manners.
;) I always thought if anybody would catch on about Jooster, it'd be Dahlia. ^_^ Well, to be fair, either Dahlia (who wouldn't badger them TOO much about it, I think) or Bobbie Wickham or Stiffy Byng (who would blackmail him to death).
You're quite right about the shift in the series, of course. It probably is purposefully done. In the first season they've just met, while in the fourth they've been living together for years, Jeeves has saved Bertie from some 17 engagements, and Bertie's friends know they can just pop by Berkeley Mansions, W1 to call on Jeeves's gigantic brain if they're in a bit of a spot themselves.
I think an interesting thing about Bertie is that he can only develop and raise himself above that sort of innate chump-ness by the knowledge that he has Jeeves to back him up and catch him should he fall (wait, I'm quoting book titles now). Take Jeeves away and Bertie just falls apart. So for all that he's immensely dependent on him, at the same time that's exactly what allows him to be independent (and God forbid - mature) as well. Jeeves without Bertie loses his warmth. Strange, come to think about it, how a man who makes a point never to move more than four facial muscles at the same time can still be so warm and loveable.
NO!! I'm sidetracking again, and I WON'T let it happen a second time. So we were on change. In the series. Well, really to be honest it's been a while since I watched them all in order - I tend to just pick out a DVD at random - so I haven't really noticed, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Stephen and Hugh did purposefully play it that way.
I only own 4 of them, and I have no idea if there is any sort of continuity in them. I'm assuming you can pick up any JW book and be fine. There isn't an order is there? Anything that shows the growing friendship (and slashier things) going on between them? I didn't read the books in the correct order at all, mainly because I had immense trouble finding them in English in the first place. Heh. There IS an order, of course, and I'll look it up for you in a second, but it's in no way necessary. And slash? Good lord, they're full of slash. Hee! ;) What do you think we needed a community for? *giggles happily*
