In "Thank You, Jeeves," a character refuses to pay his protection money, expressing a stern determination to keep his money to himself. This defiance hints at an underlying tension, as the other character acknowledges the consequences of not complying with such demands. The exchange emphasizes the precarious nature of personal safety in a world where protection comes at a price. The conversation illustrates not only the comedic elements typical of Wodehouse’s writing but also the subtle threat that lingers in the air when financial obligations are neglected. The reluctance to engage with the idea of protection money underscores the risks that the character faces, while simultaneously highlighting the absurdity of the situation in Wodehouse's trademark style.
