There is a Janet in a Tommy&Tuppence story --- Janet Smith, being sought after by Lord St. Vincent as he's too shy to approach her himself --- and in this story (the first major one of the Blunt's Brilliant Detectives) Tuppence promises 24-hour turnaround on the solution (which happens) on finding the lady and garners T&T a great reputation for gaining other business clients.
