## Snapshot

The Travers' legendary French chef, whose cooking is so sublime that Aunt Dahlia will endure any humiliation rather than lose him to a rival household.

## Who they are

Anatole never appears on the page, yet his cuisine governs the entire household's moods and loyalties, making him the most powerful absent presence at Brinkley Court. Aunt Dahlia's terror of losing him to Aunt Agatha drives her to enlist Bertie in ever more desperate stratagems. His reputation as a culinary genius turns dinner into a diplomatic battlefield, and his temperamental genius hovers over every scheme like a sauce about to reduce.
