Huxley's character

We've had one suggestion so far of who the Quaker character appearing in an Aldous Huxley novel is. Well, not so much the character as the book he/she might appear in. 'Eyeless in Gaza (1936) deals with pacifism,' Kathy Bell tells us. 'It might be a good starting place.' The character has a rather Quakerly habit of addressing people with their first name and surname. But who is it? Any advance on Eyeless in Gaza?
