Louise, you know I enjoy your writing as ever. But ... honestly, I'm getting quite fed up with the nasty attitudes Ellery and the others have towards Jeeves. I surely hope things will turn around in the future.

He is a foreigner, and rural Americans are not known for their international multiculturalism. Besides, Jeeves has scored a few moral points against several people in the story and has made his way despite their prickliness. And this isn't Ellery's story anyway. If Ellery were really concerned about a problem with Chas he might have had him arrested or ordered out of the bar, but he didn't. He sees Chas as a minor annoyance in a world of major annoyances.

I had thought about this, but it's still quite annoying. I don't really care about Simon, Dupree etc, but Ellery and Colson are at a different level to me, so I hope they will be more receptive of Jeeves. Yeah, not really rational thinking, I know! Enough of rants here, I'll surely wait to see how this story develops.

If it is any comfort, Jeeves being in a position of hero may win him some grudging respect, at least from the people whose opinions matter.

I think Jeeves and Ellery have the potential to become good friends if they get over their respectives egos. They're somewhat alike: rich, educated, arrogant and a pain in the ass. I like Ellery but I have to admit that he can be rather arrogant when he wants to. However, underneath, they're both loving men who really care about their friends and lovers.
