## Snapshot

The patient, worn wife of a proud curate, keeping a bare household alive on almost nothing while shielding her husband's fierce conscience.

## Who they are

Mrs. Crawley lives at Hogglestock in grinding poverty, raising children on a curate's pittance while her husband, Mr. Crawley, refuses charity as a matter of principle. Her quiet endurance and small domestic stratagems reveal the human cost of his unbending integrity. She matters because her suffering measures the gap between the county's comfort and its conscience.
