Which Chilbury Character are YOU?

Living a measured life since her husband’s death, Mrs. Tilling loves to help others, especially those in need. A trained nurse, her garden is overflowing with pretty flowers, bird feeders, and a bird bath, and she is very attentive to feeding the birds in the winter. However, there is a no-nonsense streak to her, and although she always must think things through first, she can always be counted on to make the right decision.

Full of life, Venetia is obsessed with herself and her looks. In order to get what she wants, she uses cunning, and is very aware of the card up her sleeve—her beauty. But she isn’t as tough as she likes to think, and perhaps what she really wants isn’t what she thinks.

Excitable and dogmatic, Kitty goes through life with blinkers on, not looking around herself and not realizing what could really be happening. A lover of life and people, she takes Silvie under her wing and helps her through a difficult time. She is impetuous, willing to take her enemies down without considering the broader impact.

Chaotic and ruthless, Miss Paltry pays no attention to morals or the rules of society. She bombards through life taking opportunities as she sees them. Forceful and cunning, sometimes she bites off more than she can chew.

Thoughtful, kind, and warm-hearted, Prim is a deep thinker and has a worldliness about her that makes others stand up and listen. Music is her passion, but she has many others: literature, art, history, geography—all knowledge. Rather than lead from the front, she likes to inspire people, encourage them to be the best that they can be.

Secretive and debonair, Alastair is very careful who he lets into his life, preferring to be a free agent. Tentative before speaking, caution is his watchword. He uses charm and wit to skirt any conversations he doesn’t want, and always gives the impression of being in charge. But would he change his tune for the right girl?

Quick to anger and to throw around his weight, the Brigadier thinks that he is master of the village. He likes to throw his weight around, and considering he has wealth, status, and the big mansion of the village, he has plenty of it. Tradition is a watchword of his, especially since it backs up his power, which is fading with the onset of war and the rise of the village women.
