Mallinger, Louisa, Lady

Sir Hugo's gentle wife, who "felt apologetically about herself as a woman who had produced nothing but daughters in a case where sons were required". "She had reddish blond hair (the hair of the period), a small Roman nose, rather prominent blue eyes and delicate eyelids, with a figre which her thinner friends called fat, her hands showing curves and dimples like a magnified baby's."
