Mr Ansell

In the novel A Pocket Full of Rye, Mr Ansell is a solicitor at the firm Ansell & Worrall on the High Street in Baydon Heath. He set up the will of Adele Fortescue, before the death of her husband.

Inspector Neele finds Mr Ansell to be the kind of solicitor who is "more easily intimidated than intimidating". Mr And all tells him that Adele had called at his office about five weeks before the events of the novel, and had made a will leaving everything of which she died possessed to Vivian Dubois.
