Re Wodehouse: Uncle Dynamite:
Poor Constable Potter was at the reciving end of this: "You thought I was Major Barbazon-Plank! no, I said Barbazon-Plank, the Major, to distinguish myself from my illustrious brother Barbazon-Plank, the Minor. And by curious coincidence, he joined the army and reached the exalted rank of a Major, thus becoming Major Barbazon-Plank, the Minor. And I went to Africa and did some prospecting and ended up owning a few gold mines, thus becoming, Miner Barbazon-Plank, the Major." (para phrased, not an exact quote).
