Prudence Garland
Daughter of Lady Dora and niece of Lord Emsworth, Prudence is a rather small, pretty girl (though not as pretty as her cousin Veronica) with blue eyes. In Full Moon she is in love and plotting an elopement with the artist Bill Lister, but is sent to Blandings to keep her away from him; there, in her despondent mood, she decides to bury herself in good works, much to the horror of her uncle Clarence.

Famous quotes containing the words prudence and/or garland:
“The world is filled with the proverbs and acts and winkings of a base prudence, which is a devotion to matter, as if we possessed no other faculties than the palate, the nose, the touch, the eye and ear; a prudence which adores the Rule of Three, which never subscribes, which never gives, which seldom lends, and asks but one question of any project,—Will it bake bread?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hear, my child, your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teaching; for they are a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 1:8-9.
