Raymond, Lord
Stockbridge
(Charles Dance)
Lady Sylvia's brother-in-law; married to Louisa; he is a snob. Raymond was a hero during
World War One, a fact Sylvia delights in telling the party in order to
humiliate her husband WIlliam who did not fight. Raymond refuses to rise to
Sylvia's bait, and downplays his past. He is deaf on one ear, and is only at
the party for the shooting as he loves country sports.
He puts up with his wife's
family despite suspicions that William and Louisa had at some point had an
affair. Similarly, Raymond and Sylvia once had an affair but he refuses to
respond to her advances as she only uses him to needle William.He's very fond of Scotland.
