Alice Trask
She becomes Cyrus's second wife at age seventeen and gives birth to Charles Trask, Adam's half-brother. "She was not very pretty so there was no need to watch her. Her eyes were pale, her complexion sallow, and her teeth crooked. … Whether she liked children or not no one ever knew. She was not asked, and she never said anything unless she was asked. … She never offered any opinion or statement, and when a man was talking she gave a vague impression of listening while she went about during the housework." She suffers from tuberculosis and dies years later.
