According to Arthur Ransome (quoted in Hugh Brogan’s Life.... page 336):
Thinking of the villain, the treacherous Norfolk Coot, he wrote that George Owden must never be heard to speak throughout the book ‘(like the G.A. in Swallowdale) but seen’.
But the GA in PM has quite a lot to say, and so does George Owden in BS.
