[[WMG: Gussie Fink-Nottle is part fish.]]

Bertie's newt-fancying friend and school chum Gussie is actually some sort of human-fish hybrid, maybe even a deep one from the Franchise/CthulhuMythos. The evidence is right in front of us:

* Looks like a fish. Described as "shrimp-like".
* Studies newts - amphibians inhabit and thrive in aquatic ecosystems. His understanding and kinship to newts comes from sharing their terrestrial and aquatic double nature.
* Needs constand hydration in the form of orange juice. Doesn't drink alcohol, because its dehydrating effects are more potent in Gussie's organism. He even mentions whisky burns his throat and makes him thirsty.
* Has trouble understanding human behavior, especially in regards to romantic relationships - thinks newts have it much easier.
* When Catsmeat got him drunk, he jumped into the Trafalguar Square fountain.
* At first was described as Bertie's cousin, then only as a childhood friend - Bertie's family is ashamed of Gussie's parentage.
* Dislikes vegetarianism. Clearly is more used to a carnivore fish's diet.
* Grows impatient with Madeline Bassett's obsession with stars and sunsets - he's more used to the darkness of the waters, of course.

* My own theory holds that [[SpotOfTea tea]] works on Bertie like a drug. You know how he acts ''before'' he has his tea? That's his real personality. Notice how it's a lot more imperious and self-assertive.

[[WMG: Jeeves is devoutly loyal to Wooster because Wooster saved his life during WWI.]]

It's canon that Jeeves is a WWI veteran, and it's likely that Wooster served as well. During the war, Wooster saved Jeeves's life, and after the war, Jeeves, making ends meet working as a valet, learns who it was who saved him and discovered that he was in need of a valet and decided to repay the man who saved his life by working for him as the best valet that money could buy. Wooster, for his own part, doesn't realize Jeeves was the man who he saved.
