Horace Pendlebury-Davenport
Son of the Duke of Dunstable's late brother, who collected Japanese Prints, Horace's mother's maiden name was Hilsbury-Hepworth; though he inherited his large nose from his father's side, he has her fawn-like eyes. He had measles as a child, and soon after he shot up to a great height. When we meet him in Uncle Fred in the Springtime, he wears tortoiseshell-rimmed spectacles, and is not the most vivacious dresser, preferring tried and trusted styles, although he attended the Bohemian Ball at the Albert Hall dressed as a Zulu warrior, complete with assegai. He dances, according to his fiancee Valerie Twistleton, "like a dromedary with the staggers", and takes lessons from Polly Pott, causing some strife between himself and his cousin Ricky. He worries that he may inherit his uncle's tendency toward loopiness, drives a jaunty Bingley, and lives 52 Bloxham Mansions, Park Lane, where he has a man named Webster.
