    • 1960, P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapter IV:
      What is Pop Glossop doing here as the butler? Are you asking me to believe that Sir Roderick Glossop got up one morning, gazed at himself in the mirror, thought he was looking a little pale and said to himself, "I need a change. I think I'll try being a butler for awhile"? One sees now why Glossop is at Brinkley Court. What one doesn't see is why one finds him buttling.
