Withers

In the short story The Cretan Bull, Withers is the valet at Lyde Manor. As part of the household routine, Hugh Chandler is locked into his room at night. Withers is told that this is for his own safety. The key is left on a chest outside the door. Withers, or Admiral Chandler or Colonel Frobisher fetch the key from there in the morning, to unlock the door.
