How does he look, Jeeves?""Sir?""What does Mr Bassington-Bassington look like?""It is hardly my place, sir, to criticize the facial peculiarities of your friends.
In "The Inimitable Jeeves," the character Bertie Wooster seeks to describe Mr. Bassington-Bassington to his valet Jeeves. Bertie's inquiry about Mr. Bassington-Bassington's appearance reflects his curiosity about the qualities or quirks of his social circle. Despite this, Jeeves maintains his professionalism and refrains from offering any personal judgments regarding appearances, which emphasizes his role as a measured and composed servant.
This exchange not only showcases the humorous and often absurd nature of Bertie's social endeavours but also highlights Jeeves' character as someone who prefers to avoid superficial assessments. Wodehouse uses this dynamic to illustrate the differing attitudes of the characters towards social standings and appearances, adding depth to their relationship and the comedic tone of the narrative.
