Hugh Curbishley

Colonel Hugh Curbishley was a war hero with a fondness for can-can girls. He was married to Lady Clemency Eddison. The Colonel's son Roger was having a secret affair with a butler called Davenport, but Hugh knew.

Unhappily for Lady Eddison and the Colonel, their son was murdered while having supper. It was later revealed that Hugh could walk and was faking disability because he feared Clemency would leave him for another man. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)
