Adams, Heather |
b. 1928. Daughter of Sam Adams. First seen as a large, awkward,
red-faced, graceless student at the Hosiers' Girls' Foundation School.
Infatuated with Freddy Belton, but Freddy was definitely not attracted to
red-haired, pimply, lumpish Heather, despite having pulled her out of an
ice-covered pond. Great mathematical ability. Mrs. Belton and Miss Bunting
helped improve her social graces out of all recognition. She won a maths
scholarship to Cambridge, developed into a capable, intelligent, "Lucy
Marlingish" person who helped her father in his business. Married Ted
Pilward, son of Hogglestock brewing magnate. Two children, elder was

Adams, Samuel |
b. 1902. At first appearance he was a widower with daughter Heather. At
first he was definitely "one of the people" and proud of it, and of his
rise from poverty to wealth and power as owner of iron works and rolling
mills at Hogglestock. He was loud, flamboyant, socially inept and
convinced that money can do anything. He improved greatly by association
with county families, especially Mrs. Belton. Married Lucy Marling (almost
as overwhelming a personality as himself), bought the Old Bank House at
Edgewood, had daughters Amabel Rose and Leslie, and son William. Became
solidly conservative and used his money to foil unnecessary "progress" and
liberal inroads. Leased part of Pomfret Towers to use as a central office.
Defeated Sir Robert Fielding as Labour candidate for Parliament, but
became a Conservative and joined Church of England. |

brother, Capt. Frederick Brandon, killed by a pig in India many years
before. Vacillated about whether to leave her fortune to Hilary Grant or
Francis Brandon. After her death in B, her fortune went to charity, except
for £10,000 left to Capt. Frederick Arbuthnot, whose father was almost
certainly the son of Capt. Frederick Brandon as the result of a liaison
with Mrs. Col. Arbuthnot. |

in Pomfret Madrigal (used as a nursery school for evacuees during war.)
One gathers that Mrs. Brandon, along with Mrs. Morland, is something of a
self-portrait of Mrs. Thirkell as she saw herself. Expert at looking
languidly beautiful and falling asleep at inappropriate moments, and at
rejecting unwanted suitors. Beautiful hands, graced by a diamond given to
her by Aunt Sissie Brandon because she was just the sort of woman Fred
Brandon would have liked. Became engaged to Bishop William Joram in CC,
moved to the Cathedral Close on their marriage. |
