The Boy

The Boy is a nine-year-old human being (although he told Arrietty he was ten). He has two older sisters, one of whom is named Ada. As a little boy, when he comes home from India to England, he catches rheumatic fever and is sent to the country home of his Great-Aunt Sophy to recover. There, he meets and befriends the borrower Arrietty Clock, and soon begins bringing her family furniture from the dollhouse and trinkets from around the house. After they are discovered, he tries to help them escape, but was caught by Mrs. Driver, and is kept locked in his room for several days until he can be sent back to India. He tells his sisters all about the borrowers.

As an adult, he becomes a colonel and dies in battle on the North-West Frontier.
