Featherstone, Solomon

Peter's rich and greedy brother, also on the watch for Peter's money. " He was a large-cheeked man, nearly seventy, with small furtive eyes and was not only of much blander temper, but thought himself much deeper than his brother Peter; indeed, not likely to be deceived in any of his feJ1owmen inasmuch as they could not well be more greedy and deceitful than he suspected them of being. Even the invisible powers, he thought, were likely to be soothed by a bland parenthesis here and there-coming from a man of property, who might have been as impious as others.
