Valentine Brown - Valentine Brown, a doctor who, through poor investments, loses the Throssel sisters’ small fortune for them. He disappoints Phoebe Throssel when he goes off to the Napoleonic Wars without proposing marriage. Following his military service, during which he becomes a captain, he returns, minus his left hand. He is amazed by the alteration in Phoebe’s appearance after ten years. To Phoebe’s discomfiture, he does not conceal his surprise. He learns, however, to appreciate Phoebe and marries her.
Phoebe Throssel - Phoebe Throssel, who is in love with Valentine. When he shows dismay that ten years of schoolteaching have made a drab, mousy woman of her, she dresses as if she were twenty again. Her appearance deceives Captain Brown, and she maintains a disguise as her own fictitious niece Livvy. Her activities and popularity while in disguise convince Captain Brown that he prefers the more mature, modest, and quiet Phoebe.
