Marian remembers their deceased mother writing about a young girl she knew in the village. After confiding in Marion, Walter discovers that there may be a connection between the sisters and the strange woman. Marion is practical, jaunty and wry – and the first woman in any 19th-century drama I’ve seen to wear palazzo pants and her long locks air-dried.
She’s schooled in the traditional manners of the upper class, but openly expresses the intensity of her senses – she sees color when playing music on the piano, pines after the tobacco smell of her deceased father, and would rather jump into a body of water than paint it. When Walter and the sisters meet on their uncle’s estate, they fall easily into a friendly rapport, though Walter is taken aback by Laura’s resemblance to the woman in white. Ben Hardy as the artist Walter Hartright in The Woman in White.
