Okay I am really behind in my chapters ..
 I'm currently reading about Edna's cousin Julia's visit .. (yes, that's like 20 chapters behind ..)
I posted this on Louise's LJ, but if we dont have a Julia yet, I can add the Knitting Kween to the gallery ..

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 don't believe him for one second!!  If Chas Chesterfield was a "Sir" then he was in all probability a knight not a Lord and it's not a hereditary or noble title.  Clearly a Lord's valet would know these things.  And surely evading Inheritance Tax still makes him a criminal (even if it is one of the most riduculous taxes after window tax!).  I'm still convinced he's up to no good!

I'm also convinced this fake Brit is up to no good - I can smell a rat....he has more to hide than just tax evasion  :)
