Francis Parker
A sinister character appearing in Psmith, Journalist, Mr Parker could be any age between twenty-five and thirty-five, with a smooth, clean-shaven face, and a cat-like way of moving. A well-dressed man, he sports a tail-coat, sharply-creased trousers, and patent-leather boots of pronounced shininess. His gloves and "tall-shaped" hat complete an impressive picture. Despite appearances, Parker is not a very savoury type, representative of corrupt forces, who at one point kidnaps Psmith at gunpoint.
In the reworked version of the story The Prince and Betty, Parker's first name is Martin.

Called to ministries of grace,
We respond with deep commitment
Fresh new lines of faith to trace.
May we learn the art of sharing,
Side by side and friend with friend,
Equal partners in our caring
To fulfill God’s chosen end.”
