Orlo, Lord Vosper
A handsome nobleman who looks like a matinee-star, Lord Vosper is an Old Harrovian who pays a visit to the castle in Pigs Have Wings. A tall, superbly-built chap with a dark, Byronic beauty. Connie hopes he'll hit it off with Penelope Donaldson, although Lord Emsworth thinks him unsound on pigs (he yawned on being shown the Empress). He was at school with Jerry Vail, who knew him by the nickname "Wasp", and later was romantically involved with Vail's friend Gloria Salt. He plays the piano, and has a pleasant baritone singing-voice.

Famous quotes containing the word lord:
“It is impossible for a stranger traveling through the United States to tell from the appearance of the people or the country whether he is in Toledo, Ohio, or Portland, Oregon. Ninety million Americans cut their hair in the same way, eat each morning exactly the same breakfast, tie up the small girls’ curls with precisely the same kind of ribbon fashioned into bows exactly alike; and in every way all try to look and act as much like all the others as they can.”
—Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865–1922)
