		Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge is a man of vision, possessed of a big, broad and utterly unscrupulous outlook.

		Most of the pictures I see of S.F. Ukridge show him as a rather thin, pale representation of the man and do not come close to looking like the unflappable character who would pull off the plots and ploys that Ukridge does.
