Jooster the other way round :-)
I’ve read an interesting information about English architect and private photographer Mont Glover, best known by his private collection of photographs which shows us a wide panorama of gay life in early to mid-20th Century and his life-long relationship with Ralf Hall who was his partner for more than 50 years. Hall was 15 years younger and Glover’s manservant as well as lover.
That’s what written in the Wikipedia: “Glover is also notable for his depictions of his partnership with his lover, Ralph Hall, one of the very rare documented examples of a gay long-term relationship prior to the legalization of homosexuality in Britain in the 1960s. Hall, born in 1913, was a working class lad from the East End of London. The two met around 1930 and Glover employed him as his manservant, perhaps to provide a social alibi for two men living together. The relationship lasted for more than 50 years, surviving the Second World War during which Hall was drafted to the Royal Air Force. <...> In his later years Glover was described by friends in Belsall Heath as "charming, if somewhat reserved", and Ralph as an "outgoing cheerful cockney"”

Don’t you think they were a kind of jooster the other way round? As if Jeeves were the gentleman and Bertie were his manservant? :-) Like in out_there’s fic 'Reggie and Wooster' :-)
