Indeed, Sir

I was poking around the interwebs, and read up on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagging

A VERY common practice in schools of Bertie's time period. The article even mentions Eton specifically.

Now, Bertie already has ferocious aunts giving him a submissive personality, but, somehow, I don't think that accounts for all of it. I think he also may have served as someone's fag.

And I would like to think this someone was Bingo 'We-were-at-school-together' Little. Bingo, while not as abusive as Bertie's other 'friends', seems to think he is entitled to ask every favor of Bertie. It's a possible explanation. Unless it states in canon that they are the same age?

In any case, I am sure he was someone's fag, simply given the school environment and his personality.

Discuss/ giggle over terminology.

Edit:
B: You know, Jeeves, I was a valet, once.

J: Really, sir?

B: Absolutely! Well, sort of. I was a fag, you see.

J:........Indeed, sir.

Edit Also: For some reason, I picture him always burning the toast, but being rather good at shining shoes.
