In the mini-series, she's like a fish. Other characters try to converse with her, and she just stares at them with her mouth slightly open. In the book, she's better at the whole talking thing, but there's more time to show her in all her snobby and selfish glory. So annoying. This, however, is fantastic, and sums up the novel rather accurately.

THORNTON: and how did you find Miss Hale MR. THORNTON: I do not think she likes me very much, Mother MRS. THORNTON: then I will set her on fire MR. THORNTON: please do not set her on fire MRS. THORNTON: I KNEW you were in love with her MR. THORNTON: I don't want you to set anyone on fire MRS. THORNTON: but she is in love with you MR. THORNTON: what makes you say that? MRS. THORNTON: she didn't let all those strikers murder you MR. THORNTON: I don't think that means she loves m- MRS.
