Berkeley or Boko Bagshott, father of Samuel Galahad Bagshott,
owned a whacking big house in Sussex near Petworth.
One of the brightest brains in the old Pelican Club, he got
his annual medical checkup each year without cost by
pretending to be about to insure his life for &puond;100,000. Fondly
remembered by his friend Galahad Threepwood in Heavy Weather,
Full Moon, Galahad at Blandings.
