Mrs. Scholfield - Mr Trotter

Mr Trotter

Mr Trotter (Lemuel Gengulphus Trotter) is a fictional character in a Jeeves novel, being a dyspeptic newspaper owner from Liverpool, husband of the domineering Mrs Trotter, and stepfather of her son the poet Percy Gorringe.

In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (1954), Mr Trotter was invited at Aunt Dahlia's country house Brinkley Court to decide on acquiring her literary journal, Milady's Boudoir. Dahlia hoped that a regimen of her chef Anatole's fine French cuisine would get Trotter to acquire anything. However, Mr Trotter's spirits stayed low due to his chronic dyspepsia, an incompatibility with French cuisine, the dominance of his scheming wife, and the frightful prospect of being called by the abhorrent name "Sir Lemuel" for the rest of his life if his wife managed to get him knighted.
