| '''Blanche Carey''' is the only daughter of Thomas Carey, Viscount Greyton and his late wife Constance Carey nee Fraser. She was born at [[Greyton Hall]] in Essex and was brought up under the tutelage of the stylish French governess [[Delphine Comtois]]. Blanche is twenty-three years old and resides in her family's London house with her elder brother, Adrian, and her chaperone Mrs. Parker. Despite various splendid offers of marriage, Blanche has not yet accepted a gentleman's hand, due to her high standards of the idea of a suitable husband.
