Sue Brown
A chorus girl, Sue is the daughter of Dolly Henderson. A tiny thing, mostly large eyes and a wide smile, she has a dancer's figure and catches the eye of many a man, including Percy Pilbeam and in the past Monty Bodkin, to whom she was engaged for a spell, but when we first meet her in Summer Lightning she has been fiancée to Ronnie Fish for some nine months.
Galahad Threepwood, who adored her mother in his youth, has a fatherly affection for her, and aids her considerably in her hopes of marrying Ronnie; although his sister Julia at one point accuses Gally of being her actual father, in fact Dolly Henderson married Jack Cotterleigh, an Irish Guardsman, while Gally was in South Africa. After her mother's death, they moved to America for a time.
