 * Character Analysis **

She and Miss Blacklock are on very good terms, leading to Miss Blacklock leaving her a great amount in her will. This causes Julia, who overhears this fact, to become resentful of her, as Julia believed the money would be going to herself and Patrick. However,at the end of the book it is revealed that she is, in fact, Pip Stamfordis, and she and Julia (who was actually Emma Stamfordis) end up splitting the wealth.

Mrs. Haymes also spends the book being courted by Edmund Swettenham, who she originally rejected due to her husband still being alive. However, the epilogue shows that they ended up together in the end.
