Bundle Brent
Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, is a fictional character of two of the Agatha Christie novels, ''The Secret of Chimneys'' (1925) and ''The Seven Dials Mystery'' (1929), described as a spirited "it girl".
==Family==
Bundle was the eldest daughter of Clement Edward Alistair Brent, 9th Marquess of Caterham (simply called "Lord Caterham").〔Christie used the spelling "Marquis", although in Britain, this is usually applied only to Scottish creations that pre-date the Act of Union of 1707 (see ''Whitaker's Almanack'', annually). It is possible that the Caterham earldom was created earlier than 1707, but "Caterham", a town in Surrey, England, just south of Croydon, is not suggestive of a Scottish peerage.〕 She had two sisters, Daisy and Dulcie. She described her late mother as having “got tired of having nothing but girls and died". Her mother "thought someone else could take on the job of providing an heir”.〔Agatha Christie (1925) ''The Secret of Chimneys'', Chapter 15〕 Bundle’s uncle, the 8th Marquess, was Foreign Secretary in the British Government (a circumstance possibly suggested by Marquess Curzon of Kedleston's having held that post from 1919–24).
The Brents' seat was Chimneys, a country house based on Abney Hall, Cheshire.〔See Jared Cade (1998) ''Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days''; Vanessa Wagstaff & Stephen Pool (2004) ''Agatha Christie: A Reader’s Companion''〕 The family’s residual links with the Foreign Office, including the presumption, resented by the 9th Marquess, that the house would continue to be available for purposes of state, as it had been when his late brother was in Government, were an important ingredient of the two Chimneys novels.
