Mrs. Alexander is a kind neighbor of Christopher’s. He first meets her when he’s asking his neighbors for information about Wellington’s death, and she expresses interest in his life and invites him in for tea, showing an easy willingness to see the world from his point of view. Later, Christopher runs into her and her dog at the corner store. He’s wary of trusting her, but he asks her what she knows about Mr. Shears. Mrs. Alexander realizes that Christopher thinks his mother is dead, and ends up telling him about his mother’s affair with Mr. Shears.
