Marcus Horatius Dupree, the landlord
Mr Dupree, landlord of Number 39, is pleased to have the old barrack opened up again after years of gathering dust.
It was built as a wedding gift for his wife, Gryselde, but one season in town was enough to convince both of them that they prefer to nest in the country. On his visits to town, Mr Dupree stays at his club–but since Messrs. Foxe and Boxe have moved in, he often drops by to see what the two have made of the place. It’s a jolly crowd, to be sure, and full of all sorts one certainly doesn’t meet at Gryselde’s garden parties.
