# Dick — The Black Moth character guide

> Dick in The Black Moth by Georgette Heyer.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Master Dick, Honest Dick, Poor old Dick, Dick Edgecumbe, Edgecumbe

**First appearance:** 0001-i-at-the-chequers-inn-fallowfield

## Snapshot

A loyal, honest presence in the Carstares orbit whose plain dealing throws the glittering deceptions of fashionable London into sharp relief.

## Who they are

Dick Edgecumbe belongs to the trusted circle around the Carstares family, a man whose honesty earns him the affectionate epithet 'Honest Dick.' Where the beau monde trades in flirtation and polish, he offers something sturdier, and his steadiness becomes a quiet counterweight to the intrigues swirling around Richard and Lavinia. He matters because the early arc needs at least one figure whose word can be relied upon when everyone else is performing.
