character sketch of Mr.Marvel

Thomas marvel is something of a stock character. He is a poor, homeless and jobless wanderer. In other words he is a tramp. He wears shabby old fashioned clothes. He doesn't seem to like work. He does everything in a leisurely manner. But marvel ends up with success. He has become the landlord of the little Inn near Port Stowe and the owner of all the information about Griffin. He is short and a little man with a nose of cylindrical proportions and scattered hair. He is rich because he has been able to keep all the money Griffin stole because lawyers could not identify the sources accurately. He is a bachelor and conducts his house with decorum. Though he declines to work as an assistant to Griffin, he exploits his name and several encounters with him. He disposes stories about him to earn money . That is how Marvel is able to rise up from being a poor tramp to being the owner of an Inn
