Harvey Tuke A tactless bureaucrat in London's Department of Public Prosecution, Harvey Tuke has a face like Mephistopheles and a sardonic sense of humor. |

"We'll drink to it in that Amon-tillado, if they have any left. I haven't been here for a month." "No, we don't often see you," his companion rejoined, as he slid his cue into its case. "I'm a domesticated man," , who affirmed with some truth that he only visited his clubs from a sense of duty. At the Sheridan he was at least able to combine business with pleasure, for here he met the entertaining and unorthodox—painters, writers, musicians, actors, creators all of one sort or another. Harvey himself qualified for election to a society which required of its members some proof of intelligence because in a small way he too was a creator. His rather odd hobby (for a lawyer) was the campaigns of Napoleon, and by-products of the book he hoped to complete one day on the penultimate campaign of 1814 appeared from time to time in that hardy monthly The Midlothian Magazine. He understood that his present companion, whose name was Parmiter, had something to do with the press. Beyond this he knew nothing about him.
