# Lord Wetherby — Uneasy Money character guide

> Lord Wetherby in Uneasy Money by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Wetherby, Only Lord Wetherby

**First appearance:** 0001-uneasy-money

## Snapshot

Pauline's husband, an amiable earl whose finances are so irregular he cannot be said to possess an income at all.

## Who they are

Lord Wetherby belongs to the small circle of Bill Dawlish's titled but cash-poor acquaintances, a nobleman whose breezy disregard for money is a family tradition rather than a personal failing. His finances are so hopeless that Bill, himself a moneyless peer, is reckoned the second poorest man of his rank in the British Isles. He matters to the early arc as a mirror and caution: living proof of where the Dawlish habit of cheerful improvidence leads, and a quiet pressure on Bill's engagement to Claire.
