.014--Farewell

[helpmejeeves]

What ho. [His typical greeting is a little less exuberant than usual.]I'm sad to say that that I've come to the realization that this Wooster isn't really cut out for this job. It's a dashed tricky thing, wardening, a more convoluted process than making tea even. So the time has come for me to throw in the towel, make a strategic retreat, biff

...did you just call making tea a convoluted process?

[helpmejeeves]

Quite so. There are so many fiddly steps and ways it could go terribly wrong. [And Bertie has probably inadvertently explored every single way that tea-making *could* go wrong.]

Or you just yell at your twin brother to make you some

[hourglass_twin]

...it's tea. You boil water. You put leaves in the water.

*laugh*

[helpmejeeves]

Ah, but boiling water is not as easy as it sounds. [Bertie actually failed at boiling water.]

...it's not?

[helpmejeeves]

Just getting the stove lit is a hazardous task best left to professionals. Then there's the matter of how long to boil it. Boil it too long and one loses all one's water. And picking up the kettle once the water's boiling, that part is dashed tricky, too.

Given your level of incompetence when it comes to mundane tasks, it is no surprise to me you were unable to handle something as complicated as an inmate.
