R. Jones
An extremely fat and wheezy man, with sleek grey hair and a mauve face, ever-jovial Mr R. Jones is a bookmaker and sometime money-lender, trusted by many a young man in their hour of need, much as he is relied upon by Freddie Threepwood to get him out of trouble in Something Fresh. He is, however, a grasping and untrustworthy type, always with his eye on the main chance. His rather run-down offices are to be found somewhere near the Strand; he is known to his friends as "Dickie".
