First appearance: ii the queen is out
As a supporting figure in The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Mrs. George Fentiman is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Engages in conversation with Wimsey; reveals details about the MacStewart loan and tries to mediate George's anger.
Mrs. George Fentiman is the young wife of the General's grandson George, living in cramped respectability and watching her husband's health, temper, and earning power all decline at once. She has no patience for the Fentiman family's genteel evasions and no illusions about how much the inheritance would change their lives. Her strain — and her readiness to say the uncomfortable thing — makes her a useful counterweight to the men who keep insisting everything is perfectly all right.
