# Bundle — The Secret of Chimneys character guide

> Bundle in The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Lady Eileen Brent

## Snapshot

Lady Eileen Brent, Lord Caterham's quick-tongued daughter, who sizes up detectives at a glance and longs to see the insufferable ones humiliated.

## Who they are

Bundle moves through Chimneys with the ease of someone who has grown up among its politics and its secrets, unimpressed by visiting officials and openly contemptuous of M. Lemoine's prim beard and eyeglasses. Her loyalty to Virginia Revel and her appetite for a good row make her a natural ally when the household turns suspicious. She matters because her irreverent instincts cut through the diplomatic humbug that surrounds the murder.
