# Mr. Mullett — The Small Bachelor character guide

> Mr. Mullett in The Small Bachelor by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mullett

**First appearance:** 0000-i

## Snapshot

George Finch's valet, a man whose familiar face unnerves a policeman and whose sweeping on the Sheridan roof hides more than dust.

## Who they are

Mullett works for George Finch, and his mild, put-upon manner makes him a fixture in the comic traffic of the Sheridan's roof and corridors. When Officer Garroway insists he has seen that face before — perhaps in a photograph — Mullett grows testy and evasive, hinting at a past he would rather not have inspected. His discomfort plants a small, nagging mystery that keeps the early chapters humming with suspicion.
