Edward Cootes
A crook formerly specialising in card sharping on trans-Atlantic liners, Cootes lost his profession when an irritable mark bit off the tip of his right index finger, a vital tool in that trade. The incident was part of a stream of bad luck that dogged Cootes ever since he lost his love, Smooth Lizzie. He finds her again while attempting to pose as poet Ralston McTodd, and is taken on as valet for a time by Psmith, in Leave it to Psmith.
