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:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
