Peverell

In the short story The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, Peverell is the retired butler at Kings Lacey. At the time of the events in the story, he had already been pensioned off and was living in a small house near the lodge, but he would always insist on coming back to serve at Kings Lacey at Christmas and hence was present during Poirot's visit there.
