Sir Maurice Tipper
An asset-stripping millionaire, Sir Maurice knows the price of everything, and doesn't even care what the value might be. Business and making money are everything to him, and if that means his methods are just a bit shady, so what? Close-minded, mean and brusque, Sir Maurice is a valuable business contact for Gerald Fedden, who wants to keep on the right side of him.
Sally Tipper
Self-satisfied and deeply conservative, Sally enjoys the status her husband's money brings her. She has no real feel for culture, seeing it only as a way of showing off how wealthy they are. Easily shocked, she is quick to condemn anyone with a lifestyle at odds with her own.
