Big Consulting Practices like Jeeve's

“Jeeve’s reputation as a counsellor has long been established among the cognoscenti, and the first move of any of my little circle on discovering themselves in any form of soup is always to roll round and put the thing up to him. And when he’s got A out of a bad spot, A puts B on to him. And then, when he has fixed up B, B sends C along. And so on, if you get my drift, and so forth. That’s how these big consulting practices like Jeeve’s grow.”

P. G. Wodehouse, Right Ho, Jeeves (1934).
