Colonel Horace Mant
Husband of Lady Mildred, the Colonel is in the Scots Guards. He is a forthright man, highly critical of Lord Emsworth's style of hospitality, and suspicious of the level of sanity exhibited by the inmates of Blandings during the events of Something Fresh. He once twisted his ankle badly, during a hill campaign in the winter of '93.
