 An eccentric and absent-minded aristocrat, he usually finds himself impecunious and in need to hire out his Hall.In "Money in the Bank" (1942), he converted his fortune into diamonds and hid them at the Hall, then forgot where (due to an unfortunate head injury suffered in an automobile accident), so he had to hire out the Hall to make ends meet.Disguised as a butler named Cakebread to stay at the Hall and seek the gems, he makes his tenants uncomfortable when they find him searching their rooms.
