Mrs. Sheridan
Another of Laura’s siblings, Meg is a relatively minor character and does not speak in the story. Like the rest of her family, Meg is depicted as living a leisurely life: she drinks coffee with her hair wrapped in a green towel, which makes her too busy to supervise the workmen, and she later plays the piano while Jose sings.
