• Mollie Ralston: The young, anxious hostess and new owner of Monkswell Manor.

• Giles Ralston: Mollie’s husband, who is somewhat arrogant, jealous, and suspicious.

• Christopher Wren: The first guest to arrive, a hyperactive and peculiar young man.

• Mrs. Boyle: A demanding, unpleasant, and critical older woman.

• Major Metcalf: A retired military man who is polite and observant.

• Mr. Paravicini: A man who arrives unexpectedly, claiming his car overturned in a snowdrift.
