I haven't figured out if she's a going to become a major supporting character (in which case there's probably a lot more going on inside her head and heart than currently meets the eye) or if she's as simple as she appears on the surface: a social-climber who takes up WinkTabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569412718363140499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29654538.post-50980379221271176322013-10-20T10:31:13.720+10:302013-10-20T10:31:13.720+10:30Your insight, Mr Alyosha, is as always sharp: my t...Your insight, Mr <b>Alyosha</b>, is as always sharp: my thinking is that Madamine Grouse figures that mistress to a peer is better than wife to a scrub - she is (as all lower classes do) reckoning on the power Lord Fold has over them as a peer.

That makes sense. What is a bit strange is that Asthetica's mother has patiently, over many years, gone to great expense educating and clothing her daughter like a lady so that, to the mother's apparently great delight, her daughter can be... a mistress?
