Mrs. Gilbert is the young woman married to Peter Gilbert. While she doesn’t say much in the play, what she does say generally demonstrates an enthusiastic attitude to life with a hopeful attitude towards the future. She takes an excited look around Andrew and Millie’s flat, evidently eager to make it her own when she and her husband take it over in the new term.
