indeedsir_backupRules: (short and sweet)
1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.
RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible. Thanks.

Date: 2012-04-26 10:14 am (UTC)I felt to so faint and nauseated that I had to grip the back of a chair to remain upright. I closed my eyes against the onslaught, every fibre of my being quivering in abject horror.
"Jeeves! Jeeves, what is it?" Bertram put his arms around me, but I shrank from his touch.
"T-those cufflinks, sir."
"Oh. They are rather rubbish, aren't they? But you can't say that when a girl's given them to you as a present. Here, I'm taking them off. And now they're hidden under a napkin. Please open your eyes love, I think I'm engaged again."

Date: 2012-04-26 11:04 am (UTC)I'm always bally well fascinated to watch any of my man's transformations in any direction, but particularly on the way back to being himself. For this one I just lit a gasper and settled on the closed lid of the commode, watching as he stripped off the feminine togs and scrubbed his face with cold cream, unclipping his earrings and looking bally marvelous in nothing but pants and a string of imitation pearls. He reached for the clasp but I stopped him, and used the necklace to pull him in close for the best kiss I knew how to give.

Date: 2012-04-26 11:35 am (UTC)"I could not recommend that bathing costume, Miss Wooster."
Beezy Wooster was too old to stamp her foot, but it was a near thing. "Oh, Jeeves! What's wrong with the bally thing? You can't look me in the eye and say it doesn't suit me!"
Jeeves did not look her in the eye or say anything for so long that Beezy came closer in concern, looking up at her maid with large blue eyes made bluer by the perfect colour of a daringly brief swim suit that made the most of her coltish figure, and Jeeves could no longer resist.

Date: 2012-04-27 08:08 am (UTC)Drabble: In Which Warmth is Questionably Attired
Date: 2012-04-27 08:19 am (UTC)"This," Jeeves sniffed, if one could quite call it that, "is not proper attire, sir." His disdain could sink armadas.
"How can you consider an Old Etonian scarf improper, Jeeves? Really, old thing!"
"May I remind you of the spats, sir." I could hear the pain deep in his soul.
I handed him the scarf. "Say no more."

Date: 2012-04-27 04:35 pm (UTC)“Despite the warning signs, I had hoped it wouldn’t come to this, sir, but it appears you’ve become colorblind overnight."
"Oh, tosh, Jeeves. This tie expresses the youthful and frolicsome exuberance of the season. In fact, I feel dashed inspired to perform some rites of spring.”
"Sir, what are you doing? That lamentable piece of neckwear is touching me."
"I hardly imagine you can see it up this close, what? I’ll just wrap it around your eyes and tie a bow …"
"I fear my demise is imminent, sir."
"Nonsense, Jeeves. No one ever died from a little youthful exuberance.”
