Dr Galbraith

In the novel They do it with Mirrors, Dr Galbraith is a very old friend of the Gulbrandsens, and one of the trustees of the Gulbrandsen Institute. He is also the Bishop of Cromer.

Christian Gulbrandsen was writing a letter to Dr Galbraith, requesting him to come to Stonygates as soon as he received it. However, Christian was murdered, and the letter was left unfinished.

Dr Galbraith does come to Stonygates at the end of the novel. He explains to Miss Marple that Lewis Serrocold had not only embezzled the Trust funds, but had also trained a group of specially selected boys from the Institute, who were in placed in key positions. He directed these boys to falsify books in such a way as to convert large amounts of money without suspicion being aroused. It was this matter that Christian Gulbrandsen had wanted to discuss with Dr Galbraith, before he was murdered.
