I do adore Freddie, but I think my favorite is Beaumaris from Arabella, because he's always in control and he thinks he's got everything covered and then Arabella looks at him and he ends up with a scruffy mutt and an ex-apprentice chimney sweep to take care of. (Plus, then he's *Beaumaris*, so he makes the ton think that scruffy dogs are all the rage, of course.)
