Mr Buckle

In the novel Elephants Can Remember, Mr Buckle is the husband of Mrs Buckle and the father of Marlene Buckle. He had been at hospital for some time lately.

He used to spend his evenings at The George and Flag, the pub in Chipping Bartram. The gossip at the pub was that Margaret Ravenscroft drank a lot, but Mrs Buckle said it was just lies.
