Morton Jamison is Celia Prescott's nephew. Celia tries to set her nephew up with Belinda after Belinda inherits Mrs. Stafford-Smyth's estate. Belinda describes Morton as being unattractive with a sharp chin, long nose and large mouth with stiff hair and glasses. He is also obviously uncomfortable with his aunt's dinner party. He does get Belinda's hint that she is not interested in dating him and finally discourages his aunt from pushing the matter further by reminding her that he will be going back to school.
