This may fit into a story I'm writing.

Bertie and Jeeves go to a Masquerade Ball, Bertie as...Robin Hood...and Jeeves as either Sherlock Holmes or the Scarlet Pimpernel. The others at the ball (not at the Drones, btw, and containing no Drones) think Jeeves' costume is rather stuffy and unadventurous (they being rather the flashier cabaret set), but Bertie thinks its spiffing. He tries to tell them so, without seeming, you know, homosexual. (Not that they would care. And he probably is a little, I mean, what comm is this? ^_^ But he doesn't want to seem like he's crushing on his valet, even if no one there knows it's his valet.)

Good idea?

Also...suggest costumes! For Bertie and Jeeves, for women, for men, based on fictional characters, based on Lady Gaga outfits--whatever you like!

P.S. Once I actually have a substantial bit written, does anyone want to beta for me? *hopefully ingratiating grin* o_o;;

Trivia note

[krisreinke.livejournal.com]

Back then one of the big social events - masquerade catagory - was an annual *servants* ball in London. It was supposed to be just for the 'under the stairs' sorts - but it got popular and so lots of other folks tried to score tickets. Jeeves would qualify to buy tickets - and he *might* be persuaded to bring Bertie along.

It also had something of a 'gay' reputation. (In the modern sense of the word.)

Or if other people were trying to get tickets and somebody else took Bertie, who then ran into a costumed Jeeves and sexy, sexy hilarity could ensue. Should anybody want to run with that, as the plot bunnies are already biting my ankles in a bid for attention.
