    Summary

    “What this country wants is about five million robots (Good title for a play — Mister Robots), who would do all the dirty jobs.”
    From P.G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters.
    Wooster, a robot designer who specialises in adding unintentionally humorous human/computer interactions to charming yet practical sculpts, remakes his schoolboy crush, the family butler. He gives the robot’s AI some oomph from his erstwhile friend-with-benefits Rocky Todd, an American programmer who codes for the ‘entertainment’ market.
    Through self-determination and Rocky’s help, the robot becomes the Jeeves of Bertie’s dreams, and then the Jeeves of Jeeves’ dreams.
    Read the tags! Heed the warnings! The human Jeeves is dead, but there is a robot Jeeves, so I didn’t use the Major Character Death archive warning.

    Summary

    Two cousins and former comrades in arms -- one in London to accompany his sister through her first Season, the other convalescing at home in Essex -- must re-acclimatize to civilian life as they encounter Polite Society, a plot to murder a marchioness, and, most dangerously of all, romance.

    Summary

    It might have happened like that. Except that the dream of it all drove Cecelia Tarleton to wakefulness as fast as a rifle shot and none of it faded once she was there. At three o'clock in the morning, she sits up, gets up, fumbles in the darkness for a lucifer and a candle, and then returns to the bed to shake her husband awake with no gentleness at all.
