Why this must be read:

In short, because torch wrote it, and her writing is superb.

In long, because Bertie and Jeeves, on a cruise, in a confined space, trying to avoid a girl, makes for much hilarity. Not to mention the gleeful subtext as Jeeves' plan gets underway.



"Good. Absolutely imperative, then, that self and Popsy Everingham do not have any kind of tryst, assignation, or tete-a-tete. Particularly not in a small enclosed space." The first class staterooms on board the Queen Anne are not exactly cramped, but they don't offer much to a man who may need to make a running start in order to effect his escape.

"May I take it, then, that Miss Everingham has plans of a romantic nature that you would prefer to avoid?"

Embarrassing as it was, it had to be said. "Not so much romantic as, ah, *amorous*, I'm afraid."
