A pet-shop owner who charmed Emily and bigamously married her. He first claimed he was a widower, and after he was discovered claimed his first wife had walked on their marriage. In reality Arnold had left her on Southampton railway station returning from their honeymoon in the Isle of Wight. Arnold took Emily to the same hotel for their honeymoon.

When Emily found out, Arnold suffered a mental breakdown. However, he later returned, and tried to force her into a suicide pact. She escaped and he was arrested. He died in a mental hospital at the end of the same year.
