Unnamed Delegates to Parole Hearings

These "delegates" in "Monk" are unofficial, members of what the narrator calls "the Opposition" to the state Governor's high-handed and corrupt policies (54). They attend the meeting of the Governor's Pardon Board as moral witnesses. Gavin Stevens is one of these delegates. Given the detail that this Governor is "a man without ancestry" (53), it seems likely that the group is made up of other men like Stevens, men from families with long-standing and aristocratic pedigrees.
