# Lispeth Scott — A Popular Schoolgirl character guide

> Lispeth Scott in A Popular Schoolgirl by Angela Brazil.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Lispeth Scott, Lispeth

**First appearance:** 0001-ii-opening-day

## Snapshot

A lisping schoolgirl whose sharp eye for other people's romances and steady presence among the boarders make her a quiet fixture of College life.

## Who they are

Lispeth moves through the hostel's tennis-and-cricket season as one of the group, more interested in the term's sporting ambitions than in her sister Quenrede's tangled prospects. Her lisp gives her a distinctive place in the form's chatter, and she reads the small dramas of courtship and friendship with wry amusement. She matters as part of the texture of school life — the companionable background against which Ingred's larger struggles play out.
