Harry (The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side)

In the novel The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, Harry is a young man who is considering buying a house at The Development in St. Mary Mead.

At the beginning of the novel, Miss Marple sees Lily Price and Harry standing at the first floor window of a nearly completed house in Carrisbrook Close. Lily says that the house has a nice position, and has two more rooms than another house they had looked at. Harry replies that the other house was just as good, and that one has to pay more for a house that has more rooms.

Lily leans out of the window, saying that you can almost see the reservoir from the house. She does not realise that the boards on which she is leaning are just loosely placed on the sill, and almost falls out. Harry does not help her, but she manages to right herself. When she asks why he did not get hold of her, he says that it all happened so quickly, and that anyway she was alright.

Later in the novel, Cherry Baker says that Lily broke up with Harry because of this incident. Cherry's husband, Jim Baker, says that Harry is "a no-good". Cherry also says that Harry had not truly wanted to marry Lily, and was only doing so because a baby was on the way. She is of the opinion that Harry is not a very nice fellow, and says that Miss Marple had said the same thing.
