And now, more Dupree stuff to worry about! What is going on with him? 

Leslie

Who knows Leslie, and why is he always so vague? Lets hope he reveals all when he gets to Ellery's house.

I bet Louise will keep us hanging on for much much longer!

Okay. I take it back, they aren't pain! LOL . Actually, it was sweet after all. Very nice of them to make the fig bars for Ellery. I think I can imagine what Dupree wants to talk to Ellery about, but I aint telling!

That was a great chapter. I loved the whole thing of the boys trying to pull themselves together. Ellery minus belt, losing his jeans - yum!

If it's purely a quick social visit from the girls, then that's nice, however, I hope they don't have any other agenda. And now Dupree being added to the mix. Dying to hear what he needs to discuss so urgently with Ellery on a Saturday morning.

   I agree that it was right for Dupree to say no to Jeeves.    Other than getting into Duprees pants, we don't know if he has other motives.      Ellery should have a full background check done on the guy.   Maybe he is just a wealthy, lonely guy?    Even so,  making a generous offer like that is hard to accept when you just met someone.    It would be different if the knew eachother for a long long time.   And especially if Dupree knew where the money came from, ie: inheritance etc.     Jeeves isn't in Laramie for its great reputation for fine arts and dining.   He is there hiding no doubt.

Yes, I agree with the idea that he could be hiding, but not necessarily because he did something illegal. He could be running away from a painful situation, or a loss. Maybe he had a lover who died tragically too, like Ennis and couldn't bear to be in a place that reminded him of whoever died.  As for offering Dupree money, it could simply be that Dupree reminds him of that person and Jeeves simply wants to help him out.

Thats a very romantic notion and it would actually be quite nice if that was the case, but I'm tempting to go with David, I think Jeeves is hiding out. From what or whom I have no idea, but offering to pay off someone's student loans who you have only just met is a bit suspicious.  He may fancy Dupree AND want to get rid of dirty money.
