Mrs. Ross

Mrs. Ross was the mother of four children. She was an alcoholic, and the most affected by Robert's absence, eventually going blind after hearing that Robert was missing in action.

Biography
Her brother, Monty Miles, was run over by a trolley when walking home. This caused her to be fearful of going outside.

Personality
Mrs. Ross acted extremely austere, affection to her children and husband rarely shown. When Rowena died, she demanded that Robert must kill her rabbits, knowing that he was the most affected. She showed disdain of Robert going off to war, exclaiming that he could "go to hell". However, when revealed that her brother died in a trolley accident and she never got over it, it turned out she cared a lot more for her son than it appeared, wanting him to not be held back by Rowena's death like she did with her own sibling.
