LIFE AND CHARACTER When we first meet her in ''Leave it to Psmith'', she is recently married to wealthy Joe Keeble , and acting as Châtelaine at Blandings. She has an interest in the Arts , and frequently invites writers and such to the castle; Poet s Aileen Peavey and Ralston McTodd and Tenor Orlo Watkins are prime examples of this trait. She endeavours in vain to persuade her brother Lord Emsworth to dress more suitably, and to pay attention to important matters such as the family, rather than his garden and Pig . She bullies him mercilessly, forcing him to dress up in a tight collar and top hat for the Blandings Parva Annual School Treat, and making him act as a Justice Of The Peace and make speeches at important local events. She also has a horror of anyone in her distinguished family marrying inappropriately, and spends much of her time trying to keep nieces and nephews away from unsavoury types. However, such matters pale in comparison to the embarrassment that could be caused by her brother Galahad Threepwood publishing his scandalous reminiscences; to prevent this, she is willing to allow the marriage of her nephew Ronnie to a chorus-girl, in '' Summer Lightning ''. She is good friends with Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe , with whom she conspires to prevent the publication of Galahad's memoirs, and also with Rupert Baxter , a man she considers most capable and on whom she calls whenever she is in dire need of practical assistance. She later marries James Schoonmaker, an American millionaire. APPEARANCES She features in:
TELEVISION In a 1995 adaptation of '' Heavy Weather '' made by the BBC and partners, broadcast in the United States by PBS , Lady Constance was played by Judy Parfitt . REFERENCES |
