Background
Miss Bridget “Bridie” Clarke is Emma’s housemaid at Hawthorne Grange in Tarryford, Wiltshire. The daughter of a former stable hand, she was taken into service after her father’s accident. Playful, talkative, and a little reckless — a stark contrast to the meticulous Alice Wetherby. Skilled dancer, adept at charming people, and often eavesdrops without meaning to.
