First appearance: Lord Tony's Wife
As a major figure in Lord Tony’s Wife, Lord Tony Dewhurst is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Yvonne's husband, who discovers the betrayal and seeks to rescue her.
Lord Tony Dewhurst is a well-bred, tongue-tied Englishman who worships Yvonne with an openness that borders on helplessness, unable to refuse her anything, least of all a visit to her ailing father. His trusting nature and reluctance to suspect the worst make him easy prey for those who mean to use his wife against Blakeney's circle. When the blow falls, his stunned grief and quiet resolve carry the story into its rescue, and his devotion becomes the measure of what is at stake.
