In all of the Jeeves novels, one of Bertie's primary goals is to avoid marriage, making Bertie an inversion on the typical hero of romantic comedies whose ultimate goal is to become engaged or married. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia concisely summarizes the recurring threat of marriage that Bertie is repeatedly faced with in the penultimate chapter of Much Obliged, Jeeves, when she has heard the news about Spode changing his mind after being hit by a potato.Hall (1974), p. 27. Furthermore, the same passage places undue emphasis on how neatly things have worked out and mentions a "guardian angel", hinting that Jeeves may have thrown the potato or arranged for someone to throw the potato at Spode: > A look almost of awe came into the ancestor's face.

Veteran Voice music critic Robert Christgau listed two of Wheeler's songs from the album—the peppy love-gone-wrong lament Mr. Whisper and the mellower Much Obliged—as "choice cuts," alongside We've Got It Goin' On by the Backstreet Boys. Mr. Whisper also received some airplay on commercial radio stations nationwide, including KROQ-FM in Los Angeles.

In "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", a story that takes place before the sale of Milady's Boudoir, the writer Blair Eggleston writes for the magazine, and Aunt Dahlia and Jeeves save Bertie from the underhanded theatrical agent Jas Waterbury.

Runkle to pay Tuppy money that she feels Runkle owes him.

' Notes written by Kerr and found in his file at Chiswick give an indication of his mental condition at this time: > 'Dear Dr Tuke, > I wish I c[oul]d have some more brandy: it is like being in prison to be > deprived like this of ordinary necessities. > C.K. > Also if you c[oul]d lend me a hypodermic syringe I s[houl]d be very much > obliged.' > > 'Dear Dr Tuke > Last night, the morphia bottle was not found in my room: so Mr [illegible] > refused to give me a dose at all: this, I regard as the most monstrous piece > of insolence in a paid [illegible] I have ever heard of: but not by any > means the only bit of impertinence I have been subject to. The morphia you > have given me has had no effect at all.

Tending to be unworldly and naive, Bertie is tricked by con artists in "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count" and "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", though Jeeves could have warned him earlier on during the former occasion and he was driven by desperation in the latter circumstances; in Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, he realizes he is being tricked by a man named Graham, but is unable to avoid paying Graham anyway. He is not interested in global affairs or politics, and advises Jeeves to miss as many political debates as possible in order to live a happy and prosperous life.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 15, p. 176.
