Can't you just see Jeeves walking up to Nick at the reception?

Jeeves: "So this is who I lost out to?"

Nick: "Where is your date Jeeves?  Oh! is it a School day?"

Jeeves: "Is it going to be like that?  Would you like to settle this with fisticuffs?"

<Jeeves undoes a cuff link and starts to roll up a sleeve>

Meanwhile, Ennis and Dupree are at the bar getting some beers to bring back to the table and see the confrontation.

Ennis: "Son of a Bitch!  Dupree you had better grab your man.  I'll grab the limey before they make a scene and Ellery comes out shooting!"

hey.  Hey.  I like that!  Can I use it?

I'd be honoured if you incorporated any of my ramblings in your story.     

[souxi]

Ok Louise, if you do use any of Davids ramblings, a request please. If that bitch Bunny escapes and shows up, can I please punch her in the eye? Then June can kick her..ok with you oh great cosmic twinnie?

You guys really have it in for Bunny. She doesn't bother me so much...it is cousin Julia who makes me see red!

How about this?  If that old witch escapes and shows up, this is what she,ll get.

[louisev]

er... Souxi.

Bunny's infatuation with Ennis was supposed to reveal her underlying pathetic obsession with a man she could not have, and offer an opportunity for people to see that pathetic obsessiveness may be a symptom of a serious social problem, i.e. alcoholism.

It wasn't for you to fantasize openly about punching her lights out!  After all - can anyone really BLAME Bunny for wanting to ride a cowboy?

[souxi]

No fair enough, you cant blame her for that I suppose, but that still doesnt excuse her for trying to get her wizzened old claws into his body. Poor Ennis. And btw, I,ve still got the bomb.

I hope Jeeves will be invited to the party, but I can't figure out how yet.  Louise, please find a way.

[louisev]

Betty!  I can tell Jeeves is one of your personal favorites.

I will figure something out.  The reception will be in a separate story.

[Kazza]

I hope Jeeves will be invited to the party, but I can't figure out how yet.  Louise, please find a way.

I second that! I like him too.

I think that he and Ellery might actually get on well once they stop circling each other. Also Ennis and Jeeves have the common ground of having lost their long term love, and the attempt to move on. They've never discussed that have they?
