Mimi Watford



Mimi Watford of Mercy Farm was the seventeen year-old granddaughter of Michael Watford. She becomes a love interest of the main protagonist, Adam Salton, and they eventually marry. Mimi was born in Siam (1911, Chapter 16) to a Burmese mother and English father. She is described “as dark as the darkest of her mother’s race. Lilla is as gentle as a dove, but Mimi’s black eyes can glow whenever she is upset.”

Protector
Mimi possesses a look that Edgar Caswall cannot undermine or dominate, which puts him out of sorts.
 * “Once again her vigorous passes drove him to the door.” (1911, Chapter 16)

Mimi serves, in some psychological capacity, as a protector over her first cousin, Lilla, whom Edgar pursues like a hawk.
