Biolgraphy
Lady Leadsom is the wife of Lord Leadsom. They are both members of the nobility and friends of Lady Isabella Fitzwilliam. Lady Leadsom is among several women who are close to Isabella, though she is gradually becoming more alarmed by Isabella's decisions, especially when she brings a harlot (Charlotte Wells) to now of their teas. Lady Leadsom is aware that her husband is unfaithful, and says she came only to see if Charlotte was "ruining" her husband. Charlotte says she certainly isn't the one taking him to bed, but the meeting nonetheless ends poorly, as the noble ladies balk at the idea of giving any help to whores.

When word spreads that Isabella may have become pregnant with a servant's child, Lord and Lady Leadsom both try to distance themselves from Isabella to avoid any scandal. Lord leadsom claims to be looking out for his "wife's moral welfare" but is quite smitten with Harriet Lennox, who is her best customer.

Lady Leadsom comes to Charlotte's wake at Isabella's home, and laments that she was not as good a friend to Isabella as she should be. While speaking to Isabella, she see's her husband with Harriet, and angrily tells Isabella that his "whore is wearing [her] dress."
