Title: A Good Reason Rating: 200 Rating: Gen Characters: Jeeves & Bertie Also for:drabble_zone prompt of 'A Good Reason' Summary: Bertie returns from a excursion via a time-traveling wardrobe.
“Jeeves! How long have I been gone?”
“Seven minutes, sir. I confess confusion at your sudden absence. You gave no indication you were leaving the residence.”
“I gave no indication because I had no indication. I dug into the wardrobe in search of my green homburg and suddenly found myself somewhere else! Or more precisely somewhen else!”
“Sir?”
“Believe me or believe me not, but I somehow wandered about a hundred years into the future!”
Jeeves opened the door of the wardrobe and peered inside.
“And would you believe it, I got my own show on what passes for the wireless. Except they can see you, too. They’re gaga about the way I talk. People pay money, ridiculous sums, to have me read the newspaper, well, it isn’t paper, exactly, and tell them what I think. I had hundreds of thousands of followers on, what’s the word, the You tube and the Instant gram. I was what they call an influencer. But I had to return.”
“Why, sir?”
“For a good reason. There are virtually no gentlemen’s personal gentlemen in the future, Jeeves, and I simply couldn’t do with you.”
“Next time, sir, we shall look for the homburg together.”
