Rupert Baxter




Baxter first appears in '''', when he becomes locked out of the castle wearing yellow pyjamas in the early morning and throws flowerpots at Emsworth's bedroom window in an attempt to wake him, Emsworth decides he is insane and sacks him, replacing him with Ronald Psmith . Baxter reappears in '' Summer Lightning '' in the employ of Horace Jevons, a Chicago millionaire, while Hugo Carmody occupies his former position at Blandings. Carmody mentions him in passing in '' Heavy Weather '' as having "left ages ago".

Despite his being sacked, he longs to organize the affairs of the absent-minded Emsworth, and he returns briefly to Blandings in " The Crime Wave At Blandings ", a story from '' Lord Emsworth And Others '', as a prospective tutor for George, Lord Bosham 's second son and Lord Emsworth's grandson. However, when Beach , the Blandings butler, shoots him in the hind parts with George's air gun, he is cured of his longing and decides to leave Blandings permanently to work for Mr. Jevons.
