Furneux Pelham is a particularly good one – An utter cad and absolute bounder if ever there was one!
I play this game a lot, especially around Winchester. I give you:
Our Illustrious Hero – Goodworth Clatford;
The duplicitous identical Candover triplets Preston, Chilton and Brown;
Detectives Barton Stacey and his younger, scientifically inclined brother Newton Stacey;
Solicitors Longstock, Fullerton and Wherwell – “Discrete Service – No Questions Asked (or Answered)”;
and the Lord of the Manor, Kings Worthy, with his three sons Headbourne, Abbots and Martyr (who nobly suffers in silence from a nasty case of Itchen Abbas – an unfortunate but unspecified medical condition normally confined to sheep); plus their elderly Retainer ‘Old Sarum’.
