# Mr. Lewisham — The Third Round character guide

> Mr. Lewisham in The Third Round by H. C. McNeile.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Lewisham, the late Mr. Lewisham

**First appearance:** 0000-i-in-which-the-metropolitan-diamond-syndicate-holds-converse-with-mr-edward-blackton

## Snapshot

A nervous member of the diamond syndicate whose telltale flinch before Blackton exposes him as the author of a fatal anonymous threat.

## Who they are

Lewisham sits among the men who paid Professor Goodman a quarter of a million pounds to suppress his discovery, and he is the weakest of them. When Blackton announces that the threatening letter must have come from someone in the room, Lewisham's start gives him away before a word is spoken. His panic — the dread of a schoolboy summoned to the headmaster — turns the syndicate's closed circle into a room full of suspects and sets the mystery's machinery in motion.
