Colonel Fanshawe
The master of Marling Hall, near neighbour of Blandings Castle, is also the local Master of Hounds, but is not familiar with important local dignitary Lord Emsworth. This fact is significant when, in the short "Sticky Wicket at Blandings", Fanshawe mistakes the elderly Earl for a prowler, and has him locked in the coal cellar, requesting Emsworth come around in his capacity as Justice of the Peace to pronounce summary judgement. He has a wife, and a spaniel, of which he thinks the world.

Famous quotes containing the word colonel:
“Swan/Mary Rutledge: Oh no, no. I’m not running away. I came here to get something, and I’m going to get it.
Col. Cobb: Yes, but San Francisco is no place for a woman.
Swan: Why not? I’m not afraid. I like the fog. I like this new world. I like the noise of something happening.... I’m tired of dreaming, Colonel Cobb. I’m staying. I’m staying and holding out my hands for gold—bright, yellow gold.”
