Godfrey's wife

Grayscale illustration of a woman hunched with cold traveling up a wooded lane. She wears a tatty blanket and hat.

Molly Farren walks down a snowy, wooded road on her way to Squire Cass’s New Year’s Eve party with her child in her arms (though the child is not visible in the illustration). She plans to reveal her secret marriage to Godfrey Cass as revenge for Godfrey not fully accepting her.
