Peggy Blackett (real name: Margaret Blackett) is the second of the Amazons and is Mate and cook of the Amazon and Nancy Blackett's younger sister. In term time they go to the same boarding school: Before leaving, Mrs Blackett had visited Nancy and Peggy at their school (PM1). Peggy is considered by Dorothea as being one of the four "elders," as opposed to Titty and Roger, though she did not think that Peggy could be very much older than she was herself (WH4). A possible inspiration for the character is Pauline Rawdon-Smith, the younger sister of Georgina Rawdon-Smith (CFT pp 70,100 & photo 8).
