Sally Godfrey is the mother of Mr. B’s first child, Miss Goodwin, although the two of them never married. As Mr. B tells it, Sally’s family tried to trick Mr. B into marrying her with violence, and Mr. B left Sally when he found out she was in on the scheme. Sally eventually moved to Jamaica, leaving the care of Miss Goodwin to Lady Davers and eventually to a boarding school. Just the mention of Sally’s name now upsets Mr. B. Sally demonstrates the trickery that marriage could involve, and her backstory provides more context for Mr. B’s character and his libertine past.
