Elspeth Begg

Elspeth is a very kind woman who takes care of both Janet and Helen. She often gives them food and acts as an additional motherly figure for Helen.

"Men may rule, but the real power resides in the emotional lives, friendships, and sensuality of women, in particular in the relationship between Janet and Elspeth Begg, Douglas's wife. In the final scene, she offers a coded message of hope." - The Guardian Review
