The Countess of Brockenhurst
The Countess of Brockenhurst
Once a great beauty, Lady Brockenhurst possesses good breeding and a degree of aristocratic hauteur, but suffers slightly from a sense of superiority. A clever woman, she shows strength and fortitude in adversity, forming unusual alliances to protect those she loves.
Lady Maria Grey
Lady Maria Grey
An attractive, forthright young woman, brought up under a reasonably strict regime of nurses and governesses. She is intelligent and interested in the wider world, not just the latest fashion, although she can be stubborn and fanciful. Her mother has identified John Bellasis as an eligible match for her, but Maria dislikes his selfish, snobbish pride.
John Bellasis
John Bellasis
He is a handsome, somewhat selfish man, but not at all stupid. He is quite a flirt, and enjoys great success with the ladies. John is not a gambler but he is extravagant, knowing that his uncle’s money will eventually come his way. He is pompous, but incredibly sharp-witted.
Oliver Trenchard
Oliver Trenchard
He is, at heart, a god man, although lazy. He has not inherited his father's pleasant traits, and his belief in his own superiority is not supported either by achievement, intelligence or even birth. Although he is shallow, he is polite by necessity and understands how one must behave to rise through the social ranks.
Anne Trenchard
Anne Trenchard
A clever, strong woman. Born the daughter of a country teacher, she loves her husband and enjoys his success without sharing his social ambitions. Astute and thoughtful, she straddles the class divide with elegance and insight, her sound judgements occasionally derailed by her husband’s aspirations and her own emotional heart.
