John McEachern
A captain of police in New York, McEachern is a huge bull of a man who has made a fortune through graft, all of which is scrupulously saved up to give his daughter Molly a good life. Retiring to England, he moves into decent society, befriending Sir Thomas Blunt in hopes of improving his daughter's future.
McEachern appears in A Gentleman of Leisure, and is called Patrick McEachern in The Gem Collector, an earlier version of the story.

Famous quotes containing the word john:
“Spig Wead: I’ve been thinking what a heel I’ve been about you and about my own kids. I don’t know, when I do something, I go all the way. Living. Gambling. Flying. I tap myself out. I guess that’s the way I want it to be. Maybe even the way I am.
Minne Wead: Star-spangled Spig. Damn the martinis, full speed ahead and don’t give up the ship.”
—Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. Spig Wead (John Wayne)
