Mr Crump

In the novel A Pocket Full of Rye, Mr Crump is the butler at Yewtree Lodge. He is married to Mrs Crump the cook. He is described as having a "rather spurious air of smartness, a shifty eye and a rather unsteady hand". According to Mary Dove, he "just makes the grade" as a butler, as his silver is all right, and his waiting at table is not too bad.
