Mr. Maudsley
At the end of the novel, Leo encounters the grandson of Marian. His resemblance to Ted confirms that Marian’s child—that is, Edward’s parent—was not Hugh Trimingham, but rather Ted. This post-war Trimingham has fewer trappings of status and wealth than did his grandfather, and only lives in a small part of Brandham Hall (the rest have been let out to a girls’ school). He is afraid to get married as, fully aware of the terrible events in the summer of 1900, he fears there is a curse on him that he would pass down to any children he might have. He apologizes to Leo for what took place at Brandham Hall—the only character to do so.
