Sister of the Rev. Caleb Oriel, with whom she lived. Bridesmaid for Augusta and Beatrice Gresham, and later for Mary Therne.

"Miss Oriel was a very pretty girl.... She had dark hair, large round dark eyes, a nose a little too broad, a pretty mouth, a beautiful chin, and, as we have said before, a large fortune.... She was goodhumoured, ladylike, lively, neither too clever nor too stupid, belonging to a good family ..." - Doctor Thorne
