Viscount Westonly

Viscount Westonly, a character in the Desire &amp; Decorum series, is a member of the ton. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 6.

Appearance
Viscount Westonly is half-bald, has white hair and beard and gray eyes.

Personality
Viscount Westonly is notoriously hard of hearing, and has almost always misconstrued whatever someone has said to him. Even in circumstances where your main character is screaming as loudly as possible, he still manages to misconstrue what he is trying to be told.

Annabelle Parsons
He has been relentless in pursing Miss Parsons as his wife, being as bold to propose to her despite being engaged to the Earl of Edgewater's son. He continues to his pursuit after both are eligible for marriage, but eventually recedes following her publicly rejecting him repeatedly at Mr. Marlcaster's card game.

Countess Henrietta
Due to his hearing complications, Countess Henrietta feels safe venting to him about her machinations going awry in the penultimate chapter of Book 1. Westonly is able to comprehend that she is obssessed with claiming Edgewater for herself and inquires why during their conversation, much to the shock of your main character and Miss Parsons.
