MoreMiss Matty). Meek and undecided to a fault .. .small, gentle, mousey face .. .F olks looks is often against them .. .not far short of sixty! .. .W eall love Miss Matty .. .I somehow think we are all of us better when she is near us! MARY SMITH. A well-to-do and happy young woman. MARTHA. A rough, honest-looking country girl, blunt and plainspoken to a fault .. .brisk, well-meaning, but very ignorant. MISS POLE. A great deal of savoir-faire .. .a way of popping into all sorts of places to gratify her curiosity ... a way, which if she had not looked so very genteel and prim, might have been considered impertinent! Such people never tread lightly, or seat themselves without a bump! MRS. FORRESTER. A meek, enduring old lady in most things .. .kind, gentle, shabbily-dressed. Slightly deaf. MRS. FITZ-ADAM. A well-to-do widow .. .dressed in rustling black silk. Had been nothing but a country girl. Always the largest lady in the room. MISS BETTY BARKER. Not so young as she had been .. .dressed finer than any lady in Cranford, wearing out all the bonnets and caps and outrageous ribbons which had once formed her stock-in-trade. THE HON. MRS. JAMIESON. Fat and inert, dull, pompous, tiresome. .. .I nclined to doze by nature ... a torpid smile ... a placid ruminating expression of countenance, not unlike a cow s. LADY GLENMIRE.
