A large (6' 1"),
elderly (in the middle fifties), self-indulgent bachelor of portly
habit who resembles a florid buck of the old Regency days.
Known in school as Tubby. In 1894 or '97 (Galahad Threepwood
suspects) he filled Gally's dog Towser up with steak
and onions in the back room of the Black Footman just
before the Big Rat contest so that his own terrier Banjo
should win. In Summer Lightning Gaily and Lord Emsworth recall that he
stole Lord Burper's false teeth and pawned them at a shop
in the Edgware Road in about '96. Owner of a pig named
Pride of Matchingham, in Company for Gertrude and
Summer Lightning hires away
Emsworth's pig-man George Cyril Wellbeloved; in Heavy Weather wants
to be Unionist candidate in the Bridgeford & Shifley Parliamentary
Division of Shropshire. Briefly engaged to
Gloria Salt in Pigs Have Wings, where he agrees to marry Sebastian Beach's
niece Maudie Stubbs. Husband of Maudie and father of
Tubby in Service With a Smile.
