P. G. Wodehouse Minor Characters - Dora "Dolly" Molloy

Dora "Dolly" Molloy

Born Dora Gunn, but known to many as "Fainting Dolly" and "Dolly the Dip", Dora is an expert at fainting near wealthy-looking strangers and picking their pockets while they bend down to assist her. We first meet her in Sam the Sudden, when her partnership with Thomas "Soapy" Molloy is fresh and vigorous (they were married two days before we are introduced to them). She is nevertheless critical of his mental powers, referring to him as a "cake eater". She is in her middle twenties, with bright hazel eyes, vivid colouring and a slightly metallic tinge to her hair, and knows the importance of quality hats, shoes, gloves etc., especially if someone else is paying for them.

She also appears in Money for Nothing, Money in the Bank, Ice in the Bedroom and Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin.
