**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** young Mr. Bennett, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Trevor Bennett, Bennett

**First appearance:** 0009-the-adventure-of-the-creeping-man

## Snapshot

A young tutor engaged to his employer's daughter, caught between loyalty to the family and fear of what the professor is becoming.

## Who they are

Bennett is the live-in assistant to Professor Presbury, a man he reveres, and the fiancé of the professor's daughter Edith. When Presbury begins behaving with bizarre, almost animalistic intensity, Bennett is the first to notice and the last to want to believe it. His divided loyalty — to the man who employs him and the woman he loves — makes him the moral center of a case about ambition, age, and the things men do to stay young.
