Mrs. Pullet is closest to Mrs. Tulliver of all the Dodson sisters, since they share similar tastes in clothes and household furnishings. She is very emotional and cries easily, even at the misfortunes of people she doesn’t know. She is married to a wealthy farmer, Mr. Pullet, who indulges her zeal for buying furniture and linens. She also keeps a spotlessly clean house, which is why she is horrified when Maggie pushes Lucy into the pond, getting mud all over her precious floors.
