Galahad Threepwood

In the stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse, The Honourable Galahad Threepwood is Lord Emsworth's younger brother. A lifelong bachelor, Gally was, according to Blandings Castle's butler Beach, "somewhat wild as a young man". When he appears in the Blandings books, he is probably in his mid-fifties, has thick gray hair and wears a black-rimmed monocle on a black ribbon.

The prospect of Galahad's writing his reminisces causes a good deal of consternation among England's well-established upper-class because he had, in younger days, been "a notable lad about town": a partier, drinker, prankster, and ladies' man, and his stories are liable to embarrass his former comrades, most of whom have grown into respectable gentlemen. One particularly embarrassing story concerns Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe and prawns, though Wodehouse never related the details of the incident.

Galahad remains the only one of the Threepwood siblings never to have married only because his father had sent him to South Africa to prevent him from marrying his true love, Dolly Henderson, who, as a lounge singer who wore pink tights, was not an appropriate bride for a man of his stature.
