**First appearance:** 0000-part-iv-part-v-little-billee

## Snapshot

Little Billee's devoted mother, whose presence in Paris helps draw her son away from the studio and back toward English respectability.

## Who they are

Mrs. Bagot arrives in Paris as part of the family trio — mother, son, and still more charming sister — whose departure leaves the studio desolate. She is remembered by Taffy and the Laird chiefly through the charm of her children and the hole her family's leaving makes in their daily lives. Her pull on Little Billee represents the claims of home and class that compete with the free bohemian world of the Place St. Anatole des Arts.
