Moss, Mrs. Gritty

Mr. Tulliver's sister, who has made a poor marriage and received much help from her brother. "Besides being poorly off, and inclined to 'hang on' her brother, [she] had the good-natured submissiveness of a large, easytempered, untidy, prolific woman, with affection enough in her not only for her own husband and abundant children, but for any number of collateral relations."
