Mr Denman (The Sign in the Sky)

In the Harley Quin short story The Sign in the Sky, Mr Denman is a Canadian acquaintance of Henry Thompson, the secretary of Sir George Barnaby.

Shortly after the murder of Lady Vivien Barnaby, Thompson had contacted Denman and asked him to help find a job in Canada for Sir George's housemaid Louisa Bullard. According to Thompson, Sir George was anxious to get the girl out of England quickly for personal reasons. A sum of money was sent to Denman to raise the wages to make them attractive. Thompson had done a good turn for Denman in London previously and so he was happy to help, supposing that Louisa had the "usual trouble". Denman made arrangements for Louisa to get a job at a hotel in the Canadian town of Banff. He also warned Louisa not to write to her fellow servants in England as this might get her in trouble with immigration authorities.
