Mrs Henrietta Tullis - the matronly wife of the Cultural attache in Bombay, returning from visiting her sick sister and very much the 'mother hen' of the group
Stephen Thomas - a pudgy, bespectacled man. A minor civil servant taking up a new post in India, Stephen always has his head in a book.
Miss Francesca Nicholson - a pretty, vivacious typist on her way to visit relatives and see the sub-continent. She knows Nathaniel Browne's work and is happy to meet him.
Miss Patricia Berry - Francesca's quieter, less glamorous friend and travelling companion. from a monied background, she busies herself in voluntary work. Julian Knight immediately latches on to her.
Note: At this point, Julian Knight is being played by Marcus Gustafsson and the other players think that Julian is his new character in the campaign.
