Jeeves sums up the plot thus: “I fear sir, than when it comes to a matter of cooks, ladies have but a rudimentary sense of morality.” Spectacles without earpieces attached to the nose (French: nose-pincher). “Nose dive” normally means to dive nose-first – Wodehouse, as usual doing something unexpected with a cliché, uses it here to mean “dive from the nose.” The gentleman burglar, created by Conan Doyle’s brother-in-law E. W. Hornung, first appeared in 1899.

Bertie conclusion at the end of this first story will be repeated in every subsequent iteration of the plot: “A great respect for this bloke’s judgement began to soak through me.” Helping Freddie" (Reggie Pepper, rewritten as the Jeeves story " Fixing it for Freddie" in Carry On, Jeeves)The implication is that Bertie’s hotel is on the respectable right bank of the Seine. Artists would – of course – live on the left bank.

Rather an unusual way of describing the situation. As detailed in the opening paragraphs of chapter 2 of this book, “The Artistic Career of Corky”, it was Aunt Agatha who sent him over in the first place; the same explanation is in the nineteenth paragraph of the original appearance of that story as “Leave It to Jeeves” (1916). I rather think I agree with those poet-philosopher johnnies who insist a fellow ought to be devilishly pleased if he has a bit of trouble.

There doesn’t appear to be a hotel of that name in New York at present. Without the Option is the story of how Oliver Randolph Sipperley became a jailbird. Because Bertie was the drunken instigator of Sippy’s assault on a policeman, he must now make amends by impersonating his friend during a visit to a Cambridge mansion. There he meets Heloise Pringle, a girl who ressembles ‘in a ghastly way’ the same old flame from the previous episode. It turns out Heloise is the cousin of Honoria Glossop, and like her, she immediately has designs on improving Bertie’s mind and ensnaring him into an engagement. Hide and run provide only temporary relief for Bertie, and once again Jeeves is required to save the day.

Freddie Bullivant does not appear in the episode, and is replaced by another friend of Bertie's, Hildebrand "Tuppy" Glossop.

Kern (Wodehouse’s friend and theatrical collaborator). Jeeves continues to help Bertie's friends with all their problems from financial and romantic to needing a good cook. Regardless of the situation, Jeeves almost always seems to have a plan. On occasion the plan doesn't go quit right, but Jeeves is able to fix the situation with ease. Jeeves is the envy of all that know Bertram, but despite their best efforts, Jeeves is loyal to Bertram and can't be stolen away no matter how much money is offered.
