Annabella Wilmot / Lady Lowborough Character Analysis

The beautiful and lively niece of Mr. Wilmot, Annabella marries Lord Lowborough solely for his title and the prestige it gives her. She actually despises her husband, and that truth comes to light years later when, invited to Grassdale Manor for a shooting party, she begins an adulterous affair with Arthur Huntingdon. Spoiled, spiteful, and unkind, she taunts Helen with evidence of Arthur’s love for her. After her divorce from Lord Lowborough, she takes up a life of empty pleasure in town.
