| Miss Ophelia Hamlin |
| Ten and eight. Short, plain in figure and coloring, she has no interest in fashion though she tries to show some when with her mother. She in fact prefers studying in a preparatory school to become a governess, where she would be of better use and would hopefully gain some good employment as well. She is currently in Bath, with an aunt Lavinia Winston. |
