# Bunch — Perishable Goods character guide

> Bunch in Perishable Goods by Dornford Yates.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0001-perishable-goods

## Snapshot

A recurring presence in the Pleydell circle whose name surfaces amid the search for Adèle, another thread in the close-knit web of family and friends.

## Who they are

Bunch moves through the anxious household at Poganec as one of the familiar intimates drawn into the crisis, part of the small society that closes ranks when Adèle vanishes. The disappearance strips away ordinary social ease: a glove found eleven miles from home, a chest of untouched banknotes, a cousin's trembling hand. Bunch's presence among the watchers and waiters reinforces how personal the abduction is — this is not a case for strangers but a wound inflicted on a family, and everyone in its orbit feels the strain.
