Jonathan Cobalt Featherweight

Jonathan Cobalt Featherweight is a character in Privates, a segment of It's All Been Done Radio Hour. He was the money manager to Dame Cordelia Bench. He is miserly and protective of Cordelia, sad for her when her money goes missing, thinking she has lost enough. He is hostile to Jake Cotton, and on friendly terms with Frank Berry. Jonathan would rather be lying on a beach with a tan broad on either side than in his job.

== Story ==
Jonathan is first seen at the door of his own home on the morning of December 26th. Jake Cotton has come to look at the books Jonathan uses to manage Dame Cordelia Bench's money. Knowing Jake suspects him of wrongdoing, and resenting Jake for taking a commission on any of Cordelia's money the detective finds, Jonathan greets Jake with hostility, and calls him a funny man.
Frank Berry shows up, and Jonathan is happy to see him, ushering him right in, as the two have long gotten along. At Frank's insistence, Jonathan allows Jake in, too. Frank is sure Jonathan is innocent. Jonathan brings them both wine, even though it's morning, and then spills it on Jake. Jonathan does allow Frank to take a peek at the books and Jake to copy down information, as long as the notes don't identify Cordelia. Jonathan's penmanship is very straight, and he says it is not his fault money is missing.
Jonathan's front room is messy, but his richly appointed office is very neat, with books and mementos on shelves, and contains an easy chair ("Fellow the Money").
