She joined in the second form and when Mirabel said they could be friends, she could squeal for joy.She does not have a father, so her mother is everything to her. Gladys's dead father was a fine actor and Gladys has inherited his gift. But when half term was coming, she remembered that Mirabel was going back home.She suddenly found courage inside her and pointed out to her that she is happy here and it was her silly pride that made her obstinate. Mirabel soon found out the sense of it and proved that Gladys was right. In the fifth,Gladys was vice-games captain with Mirabel who was games captain. In the sixth she was games captain with Janet Robins and Roberta Henrietta Ellis (Bobby) as joint vice-games captains. Gladys is very gentle and very soft-hearted.
