Claude Percival John Delamere Cobbold, fifth Earl of Shortlands
in Spring Fever. A stout, smooth-faced man of 52 who looks
like a discontented butler. Master of Beevor Castle, Kent,
but financially dependent on his daughter Adela, who makes
him live all the time at his castle. Wants to borrow £200 to
buy a public house and marry Mrs. Punter, his cook.
