Personality Profile

The Howells were so rich that they took thousands of dollars with them on the supposed three hour tour. On the mainland they had a butler, an upstairs maid, a downstairs maid, a cook, a gardener, a chauffeur, and other servants. So Mr. Howell wasn't accustom to physical labor, which often forced the other castaways to work while Mr. Howell sat in a lawn chair and such like. The Professor once said about him: "Mr. Howell always manages to disappear when there's work to be done.". It was only rarely that Mr. Howell worked, although here the term "work" can be used loosely. Such rare occasions include when mister Howell helped tar a hut, which of course Gilligan ruined. (Episode - Home Sweet Hut ) Even on the island Mr. Howell was so desperate for a servant, (partially for his wife) that he bet Gilligan's services of the skipper, in a turtle race, so that he could brecome there houseboy.(Episode - They're Off and Running)
