THEORY OF RELATEEVEETY - THE RUMPOLE SISTER

Back in 1987, Mrs. Warbut was a domestic bursar at Oxford who had been mistreated by the Japanese in Singapore during WWII.

We never learned Mrs. Warbut's first name, let alone her maiden name.  But as played by Avis Bunnage, I think it's reasonable to suggest that she was related to the Rumpole family.  

Perhaps she was the younger sister of the twins Horace and the Village leader known only as "Number Two".
