Vincy, Mrs. Lucy

The mayor's handsome, good-humoured wife, who sees no fault in her children; an innkeeper's daughter. "She resigned no domestic function to her daughter; and the matron's blooming good-natured face, with the too volatile pink strings floating from her fine throat, and her cheery manners to husband and children was certainly among the great attractions of the Vincy house . . . The tinge of unpretentious, in offensive vulgarity in Mrs. Vincy gave more effect to Rosamond's refinement."
