"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. The story was later changed to feature Bertie Wooster and Jeeves when it was included in the 1925 collection Carry On, Jeeves.[1]
In the story "Fixing it for Freddie", Bertie tries to reunite his friend Freddie Bullivant with Freddie's ex-fiancée, Elizabeth Vickers. To accomplish this, Bertie comes up with a scheme involving a child he saw Elizabeth playing with, though this scheme does not go as planned.
