## Snapshot

A barrister of terrifying voice and early-Victorian eyebrows, Bohun arrives to settle the Clandon quarrel and quietly terrifies everyone, including his own waiter father.

## Who they are

Bohun sweeps into the hotel as the legal heavyweight everyone has been waiting for, imposing, disquieting, and armed with a ruthlessly critical ear. His authority cuts both ways: he commands the room, yet his own father is the hotel waiter, whom he summons as a witness with the same inexorable 'We shall want you' he uses on anyone else. That collision of professional severity and private embarrassment makes him the story's engine of judgment, forcing the scattered family to state its case out loud and in order.
