35. Heat

"Jeeves, it's hotter than a steaming kettle popped into a volcano that's nestled in the bowls of old Hade's abode."

"Very true sir."

"Speaking of the chappie, why hasn't he carried me away yet? It's too bally hot to go on."

"Perhaps he too is made lethargic by the heat sir."

"Ah. Well when he does stop on by would you care to come with?"

"Sir?"

"Would you come with me Jeeves? Brave the abyss for your young master?"

I looked pointedly at his feet. "I would follow you anywhere sir… so long as those socks do not join us."
