The Honourable Mr. Bun is Lady Suzette Derkins’ closest confidant, and he has fine advice for her in her troubles with her schoolmates and the loathsome (Susie has just learned the word loathsome, and she uses it whenever possible) boy next door. Mr. Bun makes charming conversation, and his table manners are sublime. His unfortunate preference for raw carrots and celery over teacakes and candy can be forgiven in the face of all his other sterling qualities.
