P. G. Wodehouse Minor Characters - Martha Lippett

Martha Lippett

Mrs Lippett was housekeeper to the family of Willoughby Braddock in his youth, and in later years, when he moved from the country to a house in John Street, Mayfair. She is a tall, thin woman with a nose like an eagle's beak, which she inherited from the Bromage family, her mother's side, and was disappointed not to hand down to her daughter Claire. Something of an autocrat, she rules Mr Braddock's life strictly, leaving him overjoyed when she retires to run a pub with her daughter and Hash Todhunter.
