Archibald Gilpin
Cousin of Ricky and another nephew of the Duke of Dunstable, handsome, long-haired Archie is a struggling artist, once employed by the Mammoth Publishing Company but fired for drawing a satirical portrait of Lord Tilbury. His dismissal causes a rift with his betrothed, Millicent Rigby, and he is for a time engaged to Myra Schoonmaker, even after Millicent forgives him and renews their engagement. He also needs £1000 to buy into Ricky's thriving onion-soup business, and is prone to tugging at his long hair in despair, but all is resolved by the twinkling Uncle Fred in Service With a Smile.
