**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Lord B. Mrs. Monnerie, Monnerie

**First appearance:** 0007-iii

## Snapshot

A titled gentleman whose connection to Mrs. Monnerie shadows the narrator's social ascent, invoked in scented notes and anxious summonses.

## Who they are

He exists at the edge of the narrator's new life as a name that opens doors and a presence that must be reckoned with, his world of Monk's House and Croomham drawing her further from the Bowaters. The summons sent in Mrs. Monnerie's name — however much Fanny may have stretched it — marks the moment the narrator's health and fortunes become a matter for the great. His world is the gilded trap the book's middle chapters test her against.
