As for why I decided for Bertie to stay in England-my reasons are those given by bertiebwriting, who said: "The sort of person who allows themselves to go to jail for 30 days rather than see their aunt sacrifice her cook does not up and flee when their country is threatened. He might not have enjoyed the idea of stealing cow creamers, nor might he enjoy the idea of bearing arms and getting shot at, but, I repeat, he was not a coward. Think of how often and how proudly he recalls the history of his ancestors and the battles they fought in."
I'll add that I don't think Bertie's Code would let him leave when his country needed him the most. As for Jeeves, I believe Jeeves had a strong sense of duty and would not have wished to leave, either. I had them leave London simply because I believe that Jeeves would see that it was not safe there {the government was giving out evacuation instructions before the war started} and would want Bertie to leave. It's one thing to not help when they could and another to just stay in danger when it does not aid the country at all. There's more to this but it involves spoilers.
I'm glad you like Troubled Times and I'm always willing to answer questions about why I did something or anything about it. Just let me know if you don't want spoilers.I never mind explaining my reasoning.
