Felicia "Flick" Sheridan
Orphaned at an early age, Flick dotes on her uncle and protector Sinclair. She got to know Bill West in her youth, when she was "a little freckly thing", and harbours an affection for him into time of Bill the Conqueror. A plucky girl, her resentment at her family bullying her into marrying a wimp like Roderick Pyke leads her to run away from home, all the way to America. Even when forced to return with her tail between her legs, she still harbours schemes to get out of the wedding, especially once she realises her love for Bill is returned.

Famous quotes containing the words flick and/or sheridan:
“Cry joy that this witchlike midwife second
Bullies into rough seas you so gentle
And makes with a flick of the thumb and sun
A thundering bullring of your silent and girl-circled island.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Nay, but Jack, such eyes! such eyes! so innocently wild! so bashfully irresolute! Not a glance but speaks and kindles some thought of love! Then, Jack, her cheeks! her cheeks, Jack! so deeply blushing at the insinuations of her tell-tale eyes! Then, Jack, her lips! O, Jack, lips smiling at their own discretion! and, if not smiling, more sweetly pouting—more lovely in sullenness! Then, Jack, her neck! O, Jack, Jack!”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
