Mr. Mulliner Character Analysis

Egbert Mulliner’s uncle. Upon learning that Miss Postlethwaite is reading Rue for Remembrance, he tells the story of Egbert and Evangeline to the other patrons at the Angler’s Rest. It’s clear from his narration of Egbert and Evangeline’s story that he finds their sentimentality silly. However, he also seems fond of them—he mentions that he has a particular interest in Evangeline’s work, and he brings the story to a happy conclusion.
