Dempster, Old Mrs.

Lawyer Dempster's mother; a quiet, meek old lady who always believed that her son would not have gone wrong if he had married the right woman. "A very little old lady she was, with a pale, scarcely wrinkled face, hair of that peculiar white which tells that the locks have once been blond, a natty pure white cap on her head, and a white shawl pinned over her shoulders. You saw at a glance that she had been a mignonne blonde."
