doyleAunts and werewolves in Wodehouse:
"The aunt to whom I alluded was my good and deserving Aunt Dahlia, not to be confused with my Aunt Agatha who eats broken bottles and is strongly suspected of turning into a werewolf at the time of the full moon. Aunt Dahlia is as good a sort as ever said "tally ho" to a fox, which she frequently did in her younger days when out with the Quorn or Pytchley. If she ever turned into a werewolf, it would be one of those jolly, breezy werewolves whom it is a pleasure to know."
- Aunts Aren't Gentlemen
*dies a thousand deaths* Bertie's aunts are werewolves! Canon! *needs crossover fic now*
I'm adding entries to the Drabblethon masterlist as they come in. My own two: Fred/Tara (floating) and Two Things That Never Happened to Cordelia Chase.

"Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes, sir. 'Who watches the watchmen?'"
"That's the one. One of your own?"
"The satirist Juvenal, sir."
"Well, it's jolly good, and you may tell him so from me. Jeeves - you don't think my Aunt Agatha really might be a werewolf, do you?"
"It would seem exceedingly unlikely, sir."
"So no chance of Madeline biffing round there for a spot of practise at this slaying of hers."
"No, sir."

Oh definitely! Trained servants of Watchers, with young lads being taught how to iron a crease _and_ how to sharpen a stake, by their fathers. And well aware of way more than the Council realises.

on 2005-04-20 01:40 pm (UTC)It's just occured to me that even never having read a Jeeves and Wooster book or seen the series I couldstill hear their voices in my head when I read that. It appears that Jeeves and Wooster have kind of sunk into my mind through some weird cultural British thing. The Great British Hive-Mind perhaps?
*feels sudden urge to read PG Wodehouse*
