# May Weston — Call Mr. Fortune character guide

> May Weston in Call Mr. Fortune by H. C. Bailey.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Weston, Miss Weston, that Miss Weston

**First appearance:** 0000-case-i-the-archduke-s-tea

## Snapshot

A schoolgirl whose vanishing from a genteel Devon academy pulls Reggie Fortune into a case where charm, photographs, and a too-attentive father don't add up.

## Who they are

May Weston belongs to the closed world of Miss Lomas's school, where new girls arrive rarely and only with the best introductions. Her disappearance turns a placid playing-field of white dresses and tennis courts into a puzzle, and it is her absence that first makes Reggie suspicious of the polished newcomers around her. The tension she embodies—innocence versus the calculated interest of adults who come to visit—drives the early investigation and gives the case its human stakes.
