Sir Roderick Comes To Lunch (Introducing Claude and Eustace/Sir Roderick Comes To Lunch)
The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy,
Without the Option,
Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit,
Uncle Fred in the Springtime,
Jeeves in the Offing, and
Jeeves and the Greasy Bird; widowed father
of Honoria, uncle of Tuppy. Master of Ditteredge Hall,

eyebrows, and eyes that go through you like a couple of
Death Rays, he believes Bertie Wooster is insane; he himself
is nervous about fires (Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit, where Bertie puts a hole in his
hot water bottle with a knitting needle). A large list of his
phobias appears in Sir Roderick Comes To Lunch (Introducing Claude and Eustace/Sir Roderick Comes To Lunch): he is President of the West
London branch of the Anti-gambling league; he drinks no
wine, strongly disapproves of smoking, has impaired digestion,
disapproves of coffee, and has a particular dislike for cats.
Known to Lord Emsworth as Pimples when they were boys
at school, and remembered as a most unpleasant boy with a
nasty, superior manner and an extraordinary number of spots
on his face. Usually ranked #2 gargoyle of the Demosthenes
Club, second to Howard Saxby. A widower of two years in
Thank You, Jeeves, wants to marry Myrtle, Dowager Lady Chuffnell, but
runs afoul of her foul son Seabury. Lord Ickenham
impersonates him in Uncle Fred in the Springtime. Has a clinic at Chuffnell Regis,
Somersetshire in Jeeves in the Offing, where he visits Brinkley Court in the role
of Swordfish, a substitute butler, in order to observe Willie
Cream. Still engaged to Lady Chuffnell in Jeeves and the Greasy Bird (where she
refuses to marry him until Honoria marries out of his
household), and running his clinic at Chuffnell Regis.
