In Chapter One, the author begins with a conversation between Bertie Wooster and his man Jeeves. The point of view is that of Bertie in the first person. The reader is informed, not only of the conversations Wooster has, but also his innermost thoughts, which he addresses to the reader and which explain his thinking and actions. The tone is always conversational and in the first person. The reader is gradually exposed to the world of Bertie Wooster through his thoughts and self-justifications.

The author, through the voice of Wooster, outlines the choice of story beginning and
even outlines the list of characters that will appear in the story. This combination of
foreshadowing and flashback plunges the reader directly into the action.
