Sir Thomas Blunt
In A Gentleman of Leisure, Sir Thomas is the wealthy founder and owner of "Blunt's Stores", uncle by marriage to Spennie Dreever and master of Dreever Castle. He upsets his wife, Lady Julia, with his insistence on having detectives hanging around to protect her jewellery, and his lack of trust for hotel safes. A naturally parsimonious fellow, he finds it better to provide his wife with quality fakes, rather than the real thing.
