.014--Farewell

[what_ho_jeeves]

What ho. [His typical greeting is a little less exuberant than usual.]

I'm sad to say that that I've come to the realization that this Wooster isn't really cut out for this job. It's a dashed tricky thing, wardening, a more convoluted process than making tea even. So the time has come for me to throw in the towel, make a strategic retreat, biff off back to London. You're all the best of fellows and you're all welcome to drop in on my flat if you're ever in the metrop. [Yes, he's including the inmates in this invitation. He's probably never quite caught on that many of them are Bad Peoples.]

Una, you're jolly well the best beazel I've ever been engaged to.

Ana, you're a marvellously clever girl, almost as clever as Jeeves, I'd reckon. I'm sorry I wasn't able to see you graduated. But you're a good egg at heart and I'm sure you'll do it in no time.

Georgie, I've got some things to give you before I go. And I'll try to look you up the next time I'm on the other side of the Atlantic.

Doctor Caesares, I've got something for you, too. You're a well-dressed gentleman, so I think you'll appreciate it.

Toodle-pip.

Or you just yell at your twin brother to make you some

...it's tea. You boil water. You put leaves in the water.

Ah, but boiling water is not as easy as it sounds. [Bertie actually failed at boiling water.]

...it's not?

[what_ho_jeeves]

Just getting the stove lit is a hazardous task best left to professionals. Then there's the matter of how long to boil it. Boil it too long and one loses all one's water. And picking up the kettle once the water's boiling, that part is dashed tricky, too.

Given your level of incompetence when it comes to mundane tasks, it is no surprise to me you were unable to handle something as complicated as an inmate.
