2. Mrs. Bucket loves to boast of this sister, 'the one with a Mercedes, sauna, and room for a pony.' Which sister is this?

5. Mr. Bucket, though faint of heart, shares a name with a lion-hearted king. What's Mr. Bucket's first name?

Once, the vicar's wife caught him cowering in the basement with an assortment of other people hiding from Hyacinth! We hear once that the postman's name is Michael, too, but his wife doesn't scold him (that we know of!) for his efforts to avoid 'the Bucket woman'!
