The Remains of the Day
I dreamed of this little scene, only a tad more Jooster-like. Oops.
The waters have been a bit quiet on my front, and I thought any contribution would be nice at this point.
If you haven't read Kazou Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day, I highly recommend it. Or the movie. Or both.
It tells the story of Stevens, an English butler who has dedicated his life to the loyal service of one Lord Darlington. So dedicated even, that he's oblivious of the real life that goes on around him: who his employer really is, and - heartbreaking - he doesn't allow himself to fall in love, as you can see in the clip *also, insert Jeeves here*
Sounds boring maybe, but it's one of my most cherished books and I am sure it won't leave you unaffected.
