Deane, Mrs. Susan

Mrs. Tulliver's sister, and Lucy's mother; "the thinnest and sallowest of all the Miss Dodsons." "Mrs. Deane was a thin-lipped woman, who made small well-considered speeches on peculiar occasions, repeating them afterwards to her husband, and asking him if she had not spoken very properly." For the original of Mrs. Deane, as one of the Dodson sisters, see note under Dodsons.
