The imaginary invalid used by Algernon and Ernest in G.B. Shaw's Importance of Being Earnest to escape from their city and country life obligations also figures in the 4th book in Paul Scott's Raj Quartet: Guy Perrot, one of the British characters, uses it as a code for his Aunt to extricate him from his service in the army when his situation became too untenable.
