Yes they can, and in this PGW book, they are capable of much more. Had we had more butlers like Horace Appleby, many a young toddler would aspire to a buttling vocation.
This is one of the first non-drones and non-bertie wooster books that I've read.
Filled with the typical pgw colorful array of characters, one of the main blokes is a bertie wooster like young chappie. There's a butler, horace appleby, who, when he's not burgling banks, is a jeeves like character. There are both a yard man and a country copper. Claude potter, the scotland yard man I may have read about in other books. The climax in this one is not unlike other pgw works, everyone converges at the scene of the deception a resolution that works for everyone except for the likes of claude potter. Definitely worth reading, this. This gets a 7 on my scale
