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?
