Miles Bredon (a surname suggested by a mention of Bredon Hill in the poem Shropshire Lad) may be a bit of a dry stick, but is not without a sense of humor.He is employed as a private detective by the Indescribable Insurance Company, but is discreetly described by them as and quot;our representative and quot;. He’s and quot;a big, good-humored, slightly lethargic creature still in his early thirties. and quot; At school he’d been and quot;not lazy, exactly, but he was the victim of hobbies which perpetually diverted his attention… He was a good cross-country runner; but in the middle of a run he would usually catch sight of some distraction which made him wander three miles out of his course and come in last. and quot;During the war, he’d become an intelligence officer, and that led on to the job at the Indescribable.
