      I'm pretty certain she never meant the 'A' concerned.

                Ah!
                Does the patron saint of lost things have anything to do with this?

                  Which saint would that be, then?

                    I'm going to let someone else provide the coleslaw as I won't be around to set a Brainteaser and respond to any suggestions!

                    Nice one, though.

                      Any takers? If you need some help, have a look inside the boy's magic horn.

                        I can't bear the suspense, so will put everyone out of their misery:


                        A for Anthony.

                        Haydn (attributed): St Anthony chorale
                        Brahms: Variations on the above
                        Mahler: St Anthony of Padua's sermon to the fish (from Des Knaben Wunderhorn)

                        I'll bend my brains to come up with a B later (volunteer work beckons).

                          With the presumption that I'm correct, and to set the ball rolling while I'm out....

                          A course at RADA is needed for a royal, a nobleman stays at home, and a pal is out on the street (though it is 34th Street).

                          Whose trilogy (not composed as such, but occasionally performed together) might I B?

                            Might this in some way involve the importance of 'the roar' and an instruction to keep calm and carry on?

                              If it does, it's a feature that had escaped me.
                              The course is recommended possibly to improve an attribute he has that is often associated with rather poor acting skills.
                              And you need to think what happened on 34th Street.

                                My somewhat convoluted thinking led me from Prince George's acting lesson in Blackadder The Third to Miracle On 34th Street, in both of which, I believe, Simon Jones appeared, and he was also advised not to panic in, and indeed by, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To the Galaxy. All of which would, of course, be a great answer were we dealing with 'J' and not 'B'.
                                Anyway ... is there something miraculous involved - aha - should I say somebody miraculous?
