The phrase "get (a)round to it" is used in both British and American English, although to make it sound more British I suppose I might have used something more like "I never got round to it". I think the problem might be more that it sounds just a tad informal, but I did want a hint of Jeeves's more relaxed/informal voice in there (especially in the middle section where he is spilling his feelings, to the extent that he does).
In my headcanon for this story, Bertie really does love Pauline. That is not to say there might not have been some deeper feelings between Bertie and Jeeves as well, expressed or otherwise. I always thought of Bertie as bisexual, or even biromantic (he just doesn't strike me as a very sexual person, whatever his orientation).
