Dorothy Greystone was born Miss Freye in 1756, eldest daughter of Sir James and Lady Dorothea Freye and sister of Lady Rotherham. She made her debut in 1774 and married Mr. Greystone two years later, a gentleman of wealth with a house in Mayfair. It was a marriage of affection but there were no children and Mr. Greystone died in 1792.
Mrs. Greystone has lived in London since her marriage. She is a social butterfly and while she lacks the influence and importance of women like Mrs. Quartermaine and the Dowager Marchioness of Emerson, she is on friendly terms with nearly everybody in society. Since her widowhood, she has taken several lovers very discretely, but she is currently single. (Contrary to some opinion, Major Wallace is not her lover.)
Her childlessness has always been a source of sadness to her and though she would never complain of it, she has sometimes felt lonely, so she is very happy to be chaperoning her nieces Ladies Viola and Olivia Fitzgerald for the 1811 season. She is also allowing their young friend Charlie Devenish and his brother Will to stay at Cavisham House and, most recently, her other niece, Henrietta Freye.
Dorothy is a NPC belonging to Rose.
