Character Analysis
Berkeley Cole is about 180 degrees from Old Knudsen; he's a fancy-pants English aristocrat who, as he puts it, has come to the stage "when I can only drive in the very best of cars, only smoke the finest cigars and only drink the most exquisite vintage of wine" (3.7.30). It might not surprise you that he's kind of sickly, and ends up dying, as most of these visitors do, over the course of the book.
