Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

Ahhh… so Jeeves is a bit dodgy, but not a criminal. I know he could be spinning another line, but I’m inclined to believe him.
He can still be a gentleman without being a member of the titled aristocracy. In fact being a valet to a Lord would make him a Gentleman’s gentleman (as was P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves). I was touched by his story, having a secret relationship all those years.
Hopefully the crowd at The Red Stallion will bring some light into his life. It’s nice to see that he’s found a friend in Dupree. I wonder if Ellery will remain suspicious.
BTW Louise, you’ve said that from the exterior the bar looks like a private billiards club. So, I take it that there’s no sign outside with the name on it?

it says "Billiards" in the window.
He truly is a "Jeeves" then... heheh.
But didn't ANYBODY like my Gauguin joke?
ANYBODY?

Sorry Louise, being the philistine that I am the reference was totally wasted on me.
However, research of this nature is what the Internet was invented for surely. Wikipedia, here I come.

Gauguin was a French painter who became famous for painting nudes on the beaches in Tahiti and in fact left France and lived there for the remainder of his life. So being nude in Tahiti is sort of a cliche due to Gauguin.
And Dupree, not knowing who Gauguin is, thought Jeeves was talking about a movie.

You get entertainment and education on this thread. Wonder what other fac ficdoms can make that claim. ;D
