Freddie has aunts. Penury! Where’s Jeeves?

Wouldn’t that be “Bertie has aunts?” I mean, Freddie has aunts too, but he doesn’t have Jeeves.

We just read through a fair number of stories in which Bertie and Jeeves help out Bertie’s chum Freddie Widgeon. Hence, Freddie.
Originally, it was Pongo, not Freddie, but then I realized that Pongo’s trouble is usually with his Uncle, not his Aunt, and anyway I don’t recall that Pongo was in any stories with Bertie.
FWIW, I’ve just discovered today that Orangutans belong to the genus “Pongo”.
