Tom Wilmore

In the novel Absent in the Spring, Tom Wilmore is a male friend of Barbara Scudamore. Joan Scudamore didn't think that Tom was suitable company for her daughter. He was a partner of a lawfirm, that was a competitor to the firm where Rodney Scudamore works.

Tom and Barbara went to the Christmas Charity Dance at the Town Hall. They disappeared from the dance and reappeared five dances later, looking very guilty but defiant.
