Ogden Ford
The titular hero of The Little Nugget, Ogden is an obnoxious, spoiled child, son of the doting Nesta. Despite being a small, fat boy of just fourteen when he first appears, he already smokes, swears and gambles, and has ploughed through numerous private tutors before his father sends him away to be schooled at Sanstead House. In his youth in America he was a popular target for kidnappers, hence his nickname, and is thus familiar with the likes of Buck MacGinnis and "Smooth" Sam Fisher. He is generally treacherous to those around him, especially if their plans involve any personal discomfort, and is more likely to hand himself over to kidnappers than to allow himself to be hidden anywhere cold, damp or free from cigarettes. His manners do not make him a popular lad, but he counts at least Augustus Beckford among his known associates.
Ogden returns in Piccadilly Jim.
