# Elliot Farwell — The Bellamy Trial character guide

> Elliot Farwell in The Bellamy Trial by Frances Noyes Hart.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mr. Elliot Farwell, Mr. Farwell, Elliot, El, young Farwell

**First appearance:** 0001-the-bellamy-trial

## Snapshot

Mimi Bellamy's former fiancé, summoned to the stand to explain a broken engagement that the prosecution hopes will illuminate the Bellamy marriage from the inside.

## Who they are

Farwell is a young man from the Bellamys' social world, called to testify alongside his friend George Dallas about the woman at the center of the case. His broken engagement to Mimi Bellamy gives the court a window into the private life the murder has exposed, and his testimony carries the awkward weight of a man discussing a former love in public. What he says — and what he avoids saying — colors how the jury reads the Bellamy household.
