Mrs. Saltpen is a brilliant woman. She is level headed. She is a clear thinker. She knows exactly when to take up an individual or a social cause. Being a lady of discernment, she may choose to drop a person if she finds him unworthy of her attention. She is an influential woman. But occasionally, she is eccentric. She spoils herself and her chance by being too restless. No wonder Bertie too is restless like his mom. She is never calm and composed. She used to have beautiful dark brown hair which jelled well with her fresh complexion.
Recently she has electrified people by dying it blonde. It has in-fact ruined her looks. K.C. unravels many details about Mrs. Saltpen-Jago. It is obvious that her influence in Chalkshire is more due to her affluence and large estate than her personality traits. Her inconstant nature is obvious in her ability to raise someone from the gutters to the top or drop someone she does not like. The only thing charming about her is that she treats her guests well as a good hostess.
