The tie as we know it today has been around since the 1920s, but the four-in-hand, in its early chrysalis stage, was in fashion in the 1860s in England. Unlike its progenitors which warmed the neck, or simply made a statement of fashion, the late 19th century variety served the purpose of showing the wearer's affiliations.from your site Frybabe - hmm with so many needle like remarks aimed at Little I wonder if it is a bit by Wodehouse showing Bertie still of the old school where loyalty to ones school is for all the world to see by way of your tie and he is being confronted with the new by way of a waitress!
I think one of the things I like most about Bertie is that he quite cheerfully acknowledges Jeeves superior taste, intellect and sources of information. Wouldn't dream of ‘putting him in his place', as so often happened with upper class and servants.
An otherwise boring word used artistically by Iggy Pop to reference people who make a bigger deal out of something than it really is, in order to demonize it.
In The Soul's Awakening, the fourth mystery drama, an enlightened entrepreneur appoints a scientist, a historian, and an artist to use their spiritual perceptions to transform his business into one that serves spiritual as well as practical needs. A long-standing colleague objects, and a series of conflicts and crises develops.http://www.steinerbooks.org/detail.html?id=090469366x

The story never tells us where Bertie gets his money does it.No, it doesn't, and I've forgotten, it's been so long, but I think he has some money of his own, but is always on the lookout for getting more.
What to me is curious - and a change of subject - is; why does Wodehouse call this book Jeeves in the Springtime when the story is clearly told by Bertie - is it because of the twist at the end - I am scratching my head over this and if you have any idea please help clear the mystery.
"marriage seemed to be as much a musical chairs for prestige and money than about love with pedigree holding the trump card."
