Rosie M. Banks
Rosie M. Banks is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves and Drones Club stories of English comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being a romance novelist and the wife of Bingo Little.
Inspiration.
The character was inspired by the prolific early twentieth-century romance novelist Ruby M. Ayres. Wodehouse intentionally chose the name "Rosie M.
