Dr. Craven
A formidable woman who works for Mr. Craven. She performs a number of duties, but according to Martha, spends most of the time drinking tea in her sitting room. She dislikes Mary and children in general, so though she's supposed to check in on Mary daily, she often stretches it out and only sees Mary every other day for a minute or two. Like the other servants she tries to keep Colin's existence a secret from Mary, and she scolds Mary when she catches her wandering around the manor.

Quotes
The scene which Dr. Craven beheld when he entered his patient's room was indeed rather astonishing to him. As Mrs. Medlock opened the door he heard laughing and chattering. Colin was on his sofa in his dressing-gown and he was sitting up quite straight looking at a picture in one of the garden books and talking to the plain child who at that moment could scarcely be called plain at all because her face was so glowing with enjoyment.
