Jerome, Mrs. Susan

Thomas Jerome's handsome wife, who is not always in sympathy with her husband's benvolent plans. "Mrs. Jerome was like her china, handsome and old-fashioned. She was a buxom lady of sixty, in an elaborate lace cap fastened by a frill under her chin, a dark, well-curled front concealing her forehead, a snowyneckerchief exhibiting its ample folds as far as her waist, and a stiff grey silk gown.
