List of Minor Blandings Characters - George Threepwood, Lord Bosham

George Threepwood, Lord Bosham

Lord Emsworth's eldest son and heir to the earldom, who we first meet in the flesh in Uncle Fred in the Springtime, though he is mentioned occasionally in earlier stories. A solid man in his mid-30s, with a pink face, Lord Bosham lives a secluded life in a remote corner of Hampshire, with his wife Cicely and his two sons, George and James. Like his father, mental agility is not his strong point - he once bought a gold brick from a man in the street, and later gave his wallet to Uncle Fred, at the time a complete stranger, "to show he trusted him". As a boy, he was frequently spanked by his aunt Connie with the back of a hairbrush. He was once involved in a breach-of-promise case, and now he is married he misses the excitements of youth, particularly gambling at cards, as he now only gets to play a little bridge. Like his brother Freddie Threepwood, he loves reading thrillers.
