Mrs. Yolland
Mrs. Yolland’s daughter, whose leg injury, resultant limp, and disheveled appearance lead Franklin Blake to describe her as “a wan, wild, haggard girl.” She is close friends with Rosanna and, despite her thorough pessimism and particular hatred for Franklin (whom she holds responsible for Rosanna’s death), has a plan to move with Rosanna to London and make a living working independently. Through this plan, she offers Rosanna an alternative to conventional romance, as well as the opportunity to overcome the trappings of their gender and low class status.
