Cynthia is jolly, capable, and boarding school educated. Her brightness and determination to make the best of any situation shines through, almost without fail.

Cynthia’s relationship with her husband Walter has warmth and true connection at its heart. However, his determined and fierce inflexibility, meeting her son’s steady resistance and needling provocations, is a source of distress for Cynthia. She copes valiantly almost always.
