Mrs. Bale

Mrs. Bale is the housekeeper of Rocky Hardcastle's estate in the country. She keeps quite formal with her job, and likes listening to the shipping forecast, always informing others of it around. Mrs. Bale is either separated or divorced from Mr. Bale.

She, at some point, had an affair with a slender balloonist with piercing blue eyes.

During filming of the miniseries based of Lionel and Jean's original romance, the director tried to cast her as Lionel's nanny, due to her 'Plantagent' face.
