Johnny Bodlicott

In the novel Postern of Fate, Johnny Bodlicott is the older brother of Henry. Their grandfather Isaac Bodlicott used to tell his family stories about The Laurels (then the house was known by other names). He knew many stories about it including talk about hiding-places and so on. Johnny and Henry's mother thought the stories were silly and Johnny did not believe them either, thinking they are all nonsense. Henry however listened.
