Summary: Jeeves writes a letter.
Author's note: I wrote this in reply to a meme that zekkass posted in her journal. I was really pleased with how it came out, and so I decided to post to my own journal as a little drabble (or is it a ficlet? {g}).


Greetings, miss,

I trust that the past year was of a joyous nature to you and that the coming year will be even more felicitous.

While I am not traditionally in the habit of drawing up resolutions when a new year is upon me, I have made one promise to myself this year: I shall share the true feelings I hold for Mr. Wooster with him directly and face whatever consequences arise. Rest assured that I have been gradually preparing him for this eventuality. You might recall when Mr. Bingo Little read from the collected works of Rosie M. Banks in order to prime his uncle for the young gentleman's marriage announcement? I have undertaken a similar contrivance, reading regularly to my employer from certain authors of, shall we say, an appropriate frame of mind.

One of my particular favourite poems is from Mr. Walt Whitman. I ensure that I read this to him regularly.
O you whom I often and silently come where you are that I may be with you,
As I walk by your side or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.

I close my letter now in order to go and prepare Mr. Wooster's breakfast. Again, please accept my warmest wishes for a bonne année, miss.

R. Jeeves
