|
| Herman Diggums--The Biddlesvale funeral director. About 50 years old, he constantly whistles while he works. He says it is to keep the evil spirits away, some say he enjoys his work too much. The upper story of the funeral parlor, which sits prominently on the hilly north side of upper Main Street, has been his residence ever since his wife died in 1997. From the window of his study he has a great view of downtown. Being the towns only funeral director for over twenty years, he knows the history and families of Biddlesvale quite well |
| The Mysterious Taylors--They live on Main Street, up on the hill next to the funeral parlor. The husband's name is George, the wife's is Mary. Neither of them seem to work, and are never seen outside. They have two young girls, Gale and Hillary, who are five and seven years old. No one knows exactly what goes on behind the closed blinds of the dilapidated mansion with overgrown hedges, the only externally visible activities are the children occasionally looking for their cats. |

| THE CHARACTERS |
| The Mains--The pre-eminent family in town; they know all and see all... and feel it is their duty that no one forgets any happenings in town, even if they don't have all the facts. They also live on Main Street, the third house down from the funeral parlor. Though Paul and Mildred are nearly 100 years old, they are regularly seen driving about town and doing yard work. Their driveway (conveniently) serves as the only automobile access to all the Main Street houses on the hill; and they have been known to remind their neighbors of it when beneficial. Founding Main's Jerky was their claim to fame. Years ago they sold out to a DC-based venture capital firm. Even though Midred's face still adorns every package, some say it just doesn't taste the same. |
| Jayne and Ted Burns--The newcomers, both in their forties. They purchased Paul Main's brother's house after he passed away. Located on prestigious upper Main Street two doors down from the funeral parlor, between the Taylor's and the Main's. It is the newest of the "hill" houses; not even a hundred years old. Jayne is an artist who privately sells her mixed-media masterpieces to the elite, mostly in DC. Ted is a programmer for Deep Pockets bank. They moved from Pittsburgh, PA. They find themselves oddly fascinated by their new neighbors; slightly amused by their antics, idioms, and lifestyles. What secret nuances have drawn them to Biddlesvale? |
| Robert Ragstone, Jr.--Owns the local weekly newspaper, The Biddlesvale News, which he inherited from his now deceased father. Never married, he lives in the penthouse of the his block-long rooming house on the south side of lower Main Street. |
 |
| The Mayde sisters--Never married, the twin sisters in their fifties own a renovated single-story servants quarters house on North Street, directly behind the funeral parlor.

Hilda runs the general store on Main Street and Bertha own the bridal flower shop in nearby Burketsville. |
| Henry Suin--The towns only attorney. Also a dairy farmer living just outside of town, he knows everyone's business. Rumor is that he has quietly resolved more than one "incident" of the Taylors. And milking their situations has supposedly made up for losses in his dairy business. |
| Bambi Forest--The single mother of one rents a room from Mr. Ragstone. No one ever converses with Bambi in public, though everyone knows all about her since she waitresses at the Boones Diner on Main Street. Her daughter's name is Fawn and rumor has it that she is pregnant with a boy she'll call Buck. Oh dear!! |
| Gil Packer--The only postman for Biddlesvale. He is in his mid thirties and is a recent newlywed to the vivacious Fran from Fredneck (a small city about 20 miles east). Gil was raised in Biddlesvale and was nicknamed "Nosey" in his high school yearbook. He lives on South Street, one block back from the opposite side on Main Street as the funeral parlor. Gil's parents are in a nursing home on Braddock Ridge, which overlooks both Biddlesvale and Fredneck. |
