Gerald Lemesurier

In the short story The Lemesurier Inheritance, Gerald Lemesurier is the six year old younger of two sons of Hugo and Sadie Lemesurier. Unlike his elder brother Ronald who had red hair, Gerald had dark hair like his mother. For some strange reason, while his elder brother has had several near accidents and narrow escapes from death in recent months, Gerald has always been untouched. His father attributes it to the family curse but his mother, not so convinced, decides to consult Poirot.
