Mrs Farnham

Mrs Farnham is a neighbour of the Tallants. She is called "old Mrs Farnham" by Sophia Tallant, which might suggest that she is elderly or that she is the older Mrs Farnham compared to a daughter-in-law or another relative. One day Mrs Tallant made her daughter Sophy wait at home in case she should call, and Sophy read Sir John Malcolm's The History of Persia while waiting.
