James Pirbright
Lord Emsworth's pigman, brought in to replace the treacherous Wellbeloved, he is in the job throughout Summer Lightning and Heavy Weather. A capable and reliable sort, Pirbright is a long lean, scraggy man, whose vocabulary is normally limited to the words "ur", "yur" and "nur", but when roused includes "Gur!" ("which is Shropshire for, 'you come along with me and I'll shut you up somewhere while I go and inform his lordship of what has occurred'", according to Heavy Weather). He lives in a small cottage near the Castle, adjacent to the Empress' purpose-built new sty, first inhabited during Heavy Weather. Pirbright later moves to Canada, to be replaced by Pott.

“... religious experience, as we have studied it, cannot be cited as unequivocally supporting the infinitist belief. The only thing that it unequivocally testifies to is that we can experience union with something larger than ourselves and in that union find our greatest peace.”
