Fixing it for Freddie

"Fixing it for Freddie" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves.

Originally starring Reggie Pepper, the story was published in The Strand Magazine as "Helping Freddie" in the United Kingdom in September 1911, and in Pictorial Review as "Lines and Business" in the United States in March 1912.

Bertie is taking a cottage by the sea at Marvis Bay, Dorsetshire, and brings Freddie along to cheer him up.

Jeeves and Bertie train Tootles by giving him sweets when he says "Kiss Freddie!".

He tells Jeeves that the plan is over, but is startled when he sees a crowd gathering in front of the cottage.
