#makes it sound like jeeves doesn’t even plan on retiring
Text
Am I supposed to take it that by burning the club book pages, Jeeves is effectively forfeiting his membership in the Junior Ganymede? I mean, even if they never find out about the multiple times he’s used it for blackmail, and even if he manages to convince them that the pages were destroyed by accident or by Bingley or something, he presumably won’t be writing any NEW pages. He can’t very well explain to his club “no, see, my employer and I are married now, so his exploits are none of your business anymore.” He said himself, club rules are very strict
Plus another thing: I know it’s pretty much established by now that Bertie never wants to marry, but this basically formalizes it, doesn’t it? Jeeves doesn’t work for married men and Bertie’s fiancées tend to want him to get rid of Jeeves, so by telling Jeeves that he can stay permanently (permanently!) in his service, Bertie is essentially promising to remain unmarried forever
Look at them forsaking all others in order to be together
