A barrister who meets Jilly Twilly at a party, Lewis insists repeatedly that he cannot help her sue someone for breach of contract. He advises her to approach her family solicitor, as his firm does not handle this sort of litigation. He cautions that breach of contract suits are rarely successful and cautions against seeking publicity. When Jilly disregards his objections and sends particulars of her grievances, Lewis writes to reiterate his position. When she responds by saying that she will sue him for malpractice unless he represents her, Lewis writes stiffly, refusing further correspondence.
