While reading 'How Right You Are, Jeeves', I came across this lovely passage:

"The snag in this business of falling in love, aged relative, is that the parties of the first part so often mixed up with the wrong parties of the second part, robbed of their cooler judgement by parties of the second part's glamour. Put it like this: The male sex is divided into rabbits and non-rabbits and the female sex into dashers and dormice, and the trouble is that the male rabbit has a way of getting attracted by the female dasher (who would be fine for the male non-rabbit) and realizing too late that he ought to have been concentrating on some mild, gentle dormouse with whom he could settle down and nibble lettuce.

...

...I'm one of the rabbits and always have been."

Tie this to Jeeves being called the 'specific dream rabbit', and I'm picturing a happy pair of bunnies.

Oh wow. It's been months since I've read that book, so I'd completely forgotten about that passage. Wow.

There's something about this that just cracks me up...

Thank you so much for reminding me about How Right You Are, Jeeves. I had totally missed putting it on my list of Jeeves books to get. <smacking forehead>
