Rosie M. Banks, famous female novelist, described in
Bingo and the Little Woman (Bingo and the Little Woman/All's Well) as
a tallish girl with sort of soft, soulful brown eyes, a nice
figure, and rather decent hands. Marries Bingo Little at a
registrar's in Holborn in Bingo and the Little Woman
(Bingo and the Little Woman/All's Well)
while working as a
waitress in the Senior Liberal Club collecting material for
Mervyn Keene, Clubman. Wife of Bingo Little in
Clustering Round Young Bingo,
Jeeves and the Old School Chum,
All's Well with Bingo,
Bingo and the Peke Crisis,
Sonny Boy,
The Editor Regrets,
The Word in Season,
Leave It to Algy,
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit,
Bingo Bans the Bomb,
Stylish Stouts;
author of some of the most pronounced and widely read
tripe ever put on the market. Favorite author of one of
Jeeves' aunts, who owns almost a complete set, and of
Mortimer Little in Jeeves in the Springtime (Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum/No Wedding Bells for Bingo);
of Mabel Potter in Bachelors Anonymous, and of
thousands more. Among her heartthrob fiction for the masses
are novels in which marriage with young persons of an
inferior social status is held up as both feasible and admirable,
e.g. Only a Factory Girl, All for Love, A Red, Red Summer
Rose, The Courtship of Lord Strathmorlick, The Woman Who
Braved All, and Madcap Myrtle. Other Banks titles include By
Honour Bound and 'Twas Once in May. Bingo Little
persuades Bertie Wooster to pretend that Rosie Banks is his
own nom de plume in Jeeves in the Springtime (Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum/No Wedding Bells for Bingo).
In Clustering Round Young Bingo she has written a
human interest piece for Milady's Boudoir entitled "How I
Keep the Love of My Husband-Baby," describing Bingo as
"half god, half prattling, mischievous child." Owns as many
as six Pekes at a time, to which she is very devoted. Strongly
disapproves of Bingo's gambling, and keeps him short of
pocket money to prevent same, but is frequently out of town
visiting her mother, who lives in Bognor Regis. She is a life-long
friend of Julia Purkiss, wife of Bingo's employer at Wee Tots.
