The Belgian Consul
Peter is a young man whom Mother engages to tutor Gerry. Though he's exacting at first, the culture of the island soon takes effect and he becomes much more reasonable and pleasant. Gerry observes that both Peter and Margo become suddenly and inexplicably interested in botany as evidenced by their walks in the garden together, but it soon becomes clear that Peter and Margo are involved romantically. When the rest of the family decides that they don't want to be related to Peter by marriage, Mother fires him.
