Claire Lippett
Maid to Kay Derrick, Miss Lippett joined the Derrick household at the age of twelve (her mother being housekepper to the Derrick's neighbours), and become Kay's personal maid on her eighteenth birthday, sticking to her post despite subsequent changes of fortune. A solid little figure with a perky nose, tow-coloured hair and a wide, friendly mouth, she is a temperamental girl, a fine shot with an onion but not the best of cooks. She falls for Hash Todhunter when he kisses her, and they retire to run a pub with her mother at the end of Sam the Sudden.

Famous quotes containing the word claire:
“The role of the stepmother is the most difficult of all, because you can’t ever just be. You’re constantly being tested—by the children, the neighbors, your husband, the relatives, old friends who knew the children’s parents in their first marriage, and by yourself.”
—Anonymous Stepparent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
