However, Wodehouse had nothing to do with the script of that film, and Treacher's Jeeves character is so unlike Wodehouse's Jeeves that the viewer could easily believe him to be a different Jeeves altogether. Wodehouse (2008) [1954], Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, chapter 1, p. 11. "'My personal tastes lie more in the direction of Dostoevsky and the great Russians.'" In the novel Ring for Jeeves, which is set after World War II, Jeeves temporarily works as Lord Rowcester's butler while Bertie is sent to a school where the idle rich learn to fend for themselves. This is the only story in which Jeeves appears without Bertie Wooster. The novel was adapted from the play Come On, Jeeves.

By no means an ambitious man, Bertie seeks neither a prestigious job nor a socially advantageous Bertie says that Jeeves is persuasive and magnetic. [56] He believes that Jeeves could convince a candidate standing for Parliament to vote against herself. [57] There is a poetic side to Jeeves, who recites a great deal of poetry. He is much affected when a parted couple reconciles, and tells Bertie that his heart leaps up when he beholds a rainbow in the sky. [58] Wodehouse (2008) [1923], The Inimitable Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 10. This is a reference to a poem by Alexander Pope.Thompson, Kristin (1992). Wooster Proposes, Jeeves Disposes or Le Mot Juste. New York: James H. Heineman, Inc. ISBN 0-87008-139-X. Bertie is pleasant and amiable, according to Jeeves. [30] A well-intentioned and honorable young gentleman, he has a strong moral code and prides himself on helping his friends. [31] Unlike his Aunt Agatha, he is not snobbish to servants and is not bothered when one of his pals wants to marry someone from a different social class. He gladly spends time with a variety of people, including rich aristocrats and poor artists. [32] The Jeeves stories are described as occurring within a few years of each other. For example, Bertie states in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (1954) that his Aunt Dahlia has been running her paper Milady's Boudoir, first introduced in " Clustering Round Young Bingo" (1925), for about three years. [116] However, there are inconsistencies between the stories that make it difficult to construct a timeline. For instance, it is stated in Jeeves in the Offing that Aunt Dahlia ran her paper for four years, and not three, as is shown in Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit. Nonetheless, some scholars have attempted to create a rough timeline. J. H. C. Morris suggested that the Jeeves canon spanned approximately five years, stating that four Christmases are accounted for, and another must have passed during Bertie's time in America in the early stories, making five in all. [117] Kristin Thompson also suggested that approximately five years passed during the stories, though Thompson instead relied on explicit references to time passed between events in the series.
