Poskitt, a tall, willowy Drone with hair the color of creamery
butter. Nephew to Theodore, Lord Binghampton. A graduate
of Eton and Oxford, has inherited a small fortune from his
maternal grandfather, American P. Middlemass Poskitt. Has
an open, engaging face which arouses the maternal instinct
in women. Present at Gussie Fink-Nottle's pre-nuptual feast
in The Code of the Woosters; in
Joy in the Morning it is recalled that he was pinched in
Leicester Square on Boat Race Night by his brother George,
a policeman. Sometime desk clerk at J.G. Anderson's hotels
in Barmy in Wonderland, where he courts Dinty Moore.
