Miss Brinklow, the fourth occupant, is a small, rather leathery woman-Missionary. In the end he actually stays in this place, rejecting the offering to go out with Conway and Mellinson. Nobody in Baskul had known much about him except that he had arrived from Persia, where it was presumed he had something to do with oil.” But for his not good past, he shows himself as an affable and kind man in Shangri-La: he has a joke for every occasion, he doesn’t quarrel with anybody, as for example Mallinson does, he is satisfied with everything: starting with hijacking of their plane and ending with his “freewill’ slavery in Shangri-La.
