Elliots, Musgroves, and Hayters
The names of characters who died before the main action of the novel are put in parentheses. The lately-widowed Mr. William Walter Elliot (about 30 years old) is the cousin of Sir Walter, and the heir to his title of Baronet; Lady Dalrymple (an Irish viscountess) and her daughter Miss Carteret are also cousins. Mrs. Musgrove and Mrs. Hayter are sisters. The abbreviation "m." is put before dates of marriage.
