# Jeanie Morrison — Robbery Under Arms character guide

> Jeanie Morrison in Robbery Under Arms by Rolf Boldrewood.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** poor Jeanie, Jeanie

**First appearance:** 0001-robbery-under-arms

## Snapshot

Aileen's gentle friend whose quiet courtship with Jim Marston turns a boarding-house acquaintance into one of the story's tenderest and most fragile attachments.

## Who they are

Jeanie meets Jim through her sister Kate and the landlady's well-meant boating parties, and the pair fall into an easy, hopeful love that stands in sharp contrast to the Marstons' outlaw world. Where Kate's attachment to Dick runs deeper than his own, Jeanie's bond with Jim carries the weight of a future neither can quite promise. Her fate shadows the brothers' choices and gives the gang's violence a personal cost long before the reckoning.
