Characters/People edit see section history

  • Thomas Cavendish: Thomas has been raised to think of his dukedom first, last and always - and he has enjoyed that. He is thought (by Amelia, at least) to be a high-minded man with little or no humor, stiff-necked, serious. His friendship with his grandmother's companion, Grace, is a down-to-earth one where they can exchange all sorts of things, something which most people he knows cannot do.
  • Amelia Willoughby: second daughter of the Earl of Crowland; betrothed in the cradle to Thomas Cavendish.
  • Grace Eversleigh: The Dowager Duchess of Wyndham's companion.
  • Jack Audley: (John Rollo Cavendish-Audley) Long lost Cavendish cousin
  • Lady Crowland: Elizabeth and Amelia's mother.
  • Elizabeth Willoughby: eldest daughter of the Earl of Crowland; Grace's close friend.
  • John Cavendish: Dowager Duchess of Wyndham's second and favorite son.
  • Jacinda Lennox: married the Marquis Beresford
  • Reginald Cavendish: Thomas's father.
