[FAIL!private to the Admiral. ie--not private at all]Excuse me, Admiral fellow, if you could do a chap a favour, I'd like to trade in my current Warden Item for a new one. I'd like my new Warden Item to be a valet, tall, dark-haired, goes by the name of "Reginald Jeeves." I'm sure he'd do a corking job keeping me informed of my inmate-to-be's

I'd be much obliged Mr. Braxiatel. This be-buttoned whatsits would drive Isaac Newton to despair and my kettle's having a spot of trouble. [ie--He has put water in it and put it on the stove, but he put it on the wrong burner and so is perpetually confused why it's not heating up.]

Not Private

[Bertie squints at the sign that Brax's message is PRIVATE, and gingerly presses a few buttons.]

[And gives up.]

That'd be awfully chummy of you. My room is...dash it all, I'm not sure where my room it.

Did you just ask for a human being to use as an item?

...Bertie logic. I'm sorry.

[helpmejeeves]

Well, if one considers Jeeves qua...it is qua isn't it?...Jeeves qua homo sapien, then...yes. However, if one considers Jeeves qua genius, then it's not exactly like asking for just any human being, what?

She doesn't follow it.

[vinkus_witch]

Qua? What's a qua?

Are you labelling a sentient person as inhuman so you can regard them as an item rather than a person?

I'm not sure he even entirely follows it.

[helpmejeeves]

A qua is...[That is a very good question. Where's Jeeves when there are questions that need answers? Well, he'll just have to do his best on his own.] A qua is Latin, I believe. It means... [rolling gesture with his hand as he tries to explain something he doesn't understand very well either] thingness.

And Jeeves is not inhuman! A little frightening at times, almost supernatural in his knowledge, but not inhuman. In brains, he's like five humans put together. He's like that German fellow's Overmunch. [He means "Ubermensch."]
