Jolly dreary out today, I daresay.  Not much for rain, myself; doesn't suit well with the old Wooster complexion, you see, but there we are.  Such are the travails a gentleman must endure when he is prone on taking long walks in the countryside.  But then, when one is staying at Totleigh Towers, any amount of rain is preferable to the insufferable

That's quite unfortunate you were caught in a rainstorm.

And that hat sounds... intriguing. You would draw all eyes in London.

[bertiewwooster]

Intriguing? I should bally well say so. And old Jeeves seems intent on spiriting the thing away. *sighs* I shall never understand the man, though doubtless he knows the Young Master better than I do myself.

[teaandtomes]

Perhaps he sees something in it that is... unfitting. Or perhaps he knows some obscure fact like that Jack the Ripper wore a similar hat while committing his murders. You have mentioned that he is quite intelligent.

[bertiewwooster]

Hmph. Hadn't thought of that one, I'd admit. Though it is a bally intriguing prop- propensity- preposterous- what's the term I'm seeking here? Proposition! That's the thing. A bally intriguing proposition.

And what about you, Remus, old fruit? You seem like something of a brainy cove yourself, popping up with that sort of thing on a moments notice. What d'you occupy your good time with? Do you have... *pauses* a job?

I believe you will find, sir, that the article which you have described above lends itself to images of the lower-class members in New York society.

Hardly fitting for someone of a respectable nature, sir.

[bertiewwooster]

Tchah, Jeeves! Piffle. And what experience do you have with lower-class New York society that you might judge my hats next to theirs? It's all the rage down at the Drones, anyway. Bingo Little's after a beazel who works for some fashion magazine or another and according to him, this sort of thing is high fashion. What say you to that?

[jr_ganymede]

While Mr. Little has many admirable qualities, I would be hesitant to consider an eye for aesthetics and fashion among said qualities.

I am also reluctant to place much trust in Mr. Little's current conquest without knowing more of her background and education in fashion, but considering her opinion of the item in question, I would say that her opinion is... questionable.

Jeeves! Quite frankly, I'm shocked; I don't mind telling you. Bingo, I'll admit, isn't the brightest of eggs, but passing judgment on a female before you've even met her? I'd thought you a better man than that, Jeeves.
