Uncle Fred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While there, he wraps up the affairs of Polly and her man, and Pongo's money worries, with a panache only Gally himself could rival; he even avoids his wife finding out he has left home while she was away (tending her sick mother in the South of France), despite the wrath of his niece Valerie. |
 | | He has also masqueraded as Major Brabazon-Plank, the famed explorer, and as his older brother Brabazon-Plank Major, a mining engineer (hence, in the argot of the English public school, Brabazon-Plank Major is a miner while Brabazon-Plank Minor is a major). |
 | | His other exploits include shooting an old classmate's hat off with a Brazil nut and the precision of an Amazonian hunter, and happily breaking up an engagement between his nephew Pongo and the ghastly Hermione Bostock. |
