My Man Jeeves. Helping Freddie
'He's got a man who's going to lecture on deep-sea fish and a couple of women who both want to sing "The Rosary" but he's still a turn or two short. Sure you won't rally round ?'.

The Girl on the Boat. 6 Scene at a ship's concert
When he wasn't chewing a pipe and scowling at the carpet, he was sitting at the piano, playing 'The Rosary' with one finger.
