You realize that now I shall have to go back and read these all again. Not that that's a bad thing. PG Wodehouse did seem awfully fond of prating little women with soft masses of hair, but there are quite a few domineering manly females in there too, and many of them seemed eager to take poor Bertie into their charge. It's no wonder that he needed Jeeves to protect him.

I confess I'm a little relieved about JKJ - so not every set of male friends is automatically slashy! We do need to leave some nice men for the females, you see. Where would Eliza and Jane Bennet have been if Darcy only had eyes for Bingley?
