#bird lady
Clara ’#1 Bird Lover’ Entwhistle:
- Says she is bringing “no animals” into London whilst carrying her birds in plain sight (I like to think this is because she considers them friends rather than animals)
- Shushes an injured man from groaning because she doesn’t want him to wake her birds
- Only comments on the big windows in her room to say that they make her birds “happy - or possibly sad”
- Lists the fact that she owns two birds immediately after the details of her immediate family when giving facts about herself (even though Fleet already knows about the birds in question)
- Doesn’t want Fleet to go too near her birds because they don’t know him
- Expresses concern for her birds when armed guards are advancing on her apartment
- Sometimes takes her birds up to the roof to give them a chance to fly about, and is shocked and appalled at the suggestion that they wouldn’t come back
The Social Butterfly
Flirtatious. Discreet. Greedy? Devious?
Her exact age is unknown, and that’s just one of Mrs Peacock’s secrets. Peacock rocketed from small-town girl to well-connected socialite. Little is known of her three husbands, other than they all died suddenly. Sir Hugh met his end just before, becoming her fourth. Peacock has called in many favours to get this invitation to Black’s party. What’s on her mind: marriage or murder…?
