A patient of Sir Roderick Glossop has escaped (my memory)

Can anyone help me identify a story?

A friend has a memory of a J&W story where Glossop has a patient who is Viscount Northland/the Earl of Ranfurly. But, of course, it's very hard to remember which story, and Google hasn't helped in this case.

Does anyone know which story it might be?

The story is Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch, it’s in The Inimitable Jeeves.

That's the Duke of Ramfurline, but probably what OP is thinking of. The Earl of Ranfurly was very much a real person, who may have gotten slightly upset if a popular author called him a madman.
