List of Minor Blandings Characters - James Bartholomew Belford

James Bartholomew Belford

Son of a parson living near the castle, who is on cordial terms with Lord Emsworth, Belford had a somewhat wild youth and was sent to America for some unnamed transgression. Finding work on a farm in Nebraska, he learns much, including the art of pig-calling. He returns to England after two years to find his childhood love Angela; although he has enough to live on, he requires some capital to buy a partnership. He uses his farming wisdom and knowledge of pig calls to endear himself to her uncle and trustee, Lord Emsworth, in "Pig-hoo-o-o-o-ey".
