Brother

Background

Arnold Allardyce lives at 17 Shore Road. His sister is Roz.


During the events of Burnt Offerings (1976) played by Burgess Meredith

Roz helps Brother with the broken wheelchair lift and wheels him into the room. Roz tells Brother that Marian and Ben have a son and Brother asks to look at him through the window. He watches as David is playing and falls and hurts himself and when Ben offers to bring David inside, Brother insists David can stay and play outside. Roz and Brother then tell Marian and Ben that the house will still exist long after they are gone and that it is practically immortal. They then tell them that the only catch is that Roz and Brother's mother will stay in the house and they will need to make three meals for her a day. Walker comes into the main room holding a dead plant and Brother asks him where he is going with it. When Walker tells him it is dead, Brother tells him to look again, and some of the dead leaves have turned green. After the summer is over, Roz and Brother return to the house and note how restored it is and how their mother has come back in all of her glory.
