Raymond, Lord Stockbridge
(Charles Dance)
Lady Sylvia's brother-in-law; married to Louisa; he is a snob
Raymond was a hero during World War One, a fact Sylvia delights in telling the party in order to humiliate her husband WIlliam who did not fight. Raymond refuses to rise to Sylvia's bait, and downplays his past. He is deaf on one ear, and is only at the party for the shooting as he loves country sports.
He puts up with his wife's family despite suspicions that William and Louisa had at some point had an affair. Similarly, Raymond and Sylvia once had an affair but he refuses to respond to her advances as she only uses him to needle William.He's very fond of Scotland.
