Bollard, Entwhistle, Entwhistle and Bollard

In the novel After the Funeral, Bollard, Entwhistle, Etwhistle and Bollard is an "old and respected" law firm which managed the affairs of Richard Abernethie. After the death of Abernethie, Mr Entwhistle, the senior partner of the firm, acted as executor of the will. The firm also has a second partner James Parrott.

The firm apparently had a lot of experience in family law. "A large number of wives with matrimonial troubles had passed through the office of Bollard, Entwhistle, Entwhistle and Bollard." This made Mr Entwhistle a good judge of the state of health of a marriage and he judged that the dynamic and colourful Susan Banks was, for whatever reason, devoted to her somewhat nondescript husband Gregory Banks.
