Pickled Gherkins: so tactless, yet so essentially well-meaning. Charming, funny, reckless. Yes, he can be thoughtless in a somewhat selfish manner, but one can't help liking him. His taste in women is alarmingly poor, though.
Miss deVine is decidedly scary, but a woman of formidable integrity and pitilessly honest. Merciless but admirable: and I should think her tutorials would be quite something.
Young Reggie Pomfret: poor, poor, Reggie. His chivalrous devotion to Harriet, and the appallingly funny scene with the Proctors in St Giles are wonderful, although one feels sorry for the poor chap. I've always wondered whether he and Cattermole managed to make a go of it, and whether admiration for Harriet was a satisfactory basis for a relationship....
