Monk’s life was probably dedicated more to excitement than to any other one thing. Certainly he liked trouble more than his profession, which was chemistry. Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett Mayfair, which was Monk’s full name and title, was rated one of the great industrial chemists of the era. He didn’t look it. He was a short man, very wide, as wide as tall almost, as hairy as a baboon with rusty red hair that resembled finishing nails, and with a face that would stop a clock if any face would.
Ham Brooks—who was, like Monk, one of a group of five men who worked closely with Doc Savage—also had a title. He was Brigadier General Theodore Marley Brooks. He had fame in two lines—law and clothes. In law, he was good enough that Harvard Law School was always pointing him out as one of its better examples. And as for clothes, tailors who loved their work often followed him down the street just to watch clothes being worn as they should be worn.
