As a supporting figure in Sir Percy Hits Back, Lord Tony is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Another league member, receives orders to find Hastings and Stowmaries and to gather information at Les Amandiers.
Lord Anthony Dewhurst is one of Sir Percy Blakeney's league, a boyish adventurer who submits to being plastered with grime for the sake of disguise and laughs about it. His terror of garlic and his mock horror at his own dirt sit alongside a quiet readiness to die, and he asks his chief 'Anything to be done?' with the simplicity of a man who has already accepted the answer. His high spirits and hero worship give the league its warmth and make the danger feel real.
