## Snapshot

George Fentiman's anxious, sharp-eyed wife, holding together a household on nerves and a small income while her husband's war-shattered temper frays.

## Who they are

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.
