Mrs Norris - classic bully Written by Janey (9/13/2010 2:49 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mrs. Norris – Too Angry, penned by Robbin

By the time the 3 sisters married, their personalities had been influenced and formed by Mrs Norris, the terrorist sister.

Lady B's personality shows her response to years of being in subjection to Mrs Norris. She found one way to get along with a bully/terrorist, while Frances Price's personality shows a different response to being forced to live with a bully/terrorist.
