Fictional character.

- Colonel Dorking's engagement to the Hon. Miss Miles was abruptly called off two days before the wedding. Charles Augustus Milverton boasted there was "a paragraph in the Morning Post to say that it was all off" — because his twelve hundred pounds blackmail demand wasn't paid (CHAS 117).
