Earl Tully

He used to work for a viceroy in India. He is a staunch imperialist who believes that the British Empire is spreading culture and civility in its colonies, something that causes him to butt heads with John. He apparently also fought with Amelia about politics prior to her death, calling her an anti-imperialist.

Rupert is Nesbitt's bloodhound. You describe him as being a very proper dog, though the Dowager Ashbourne complains that he is overdressed for a garden party.
