David’s second wife, to whom he is no longer married. Rosalind is still involved in David’s life, since they’ve found themselves capable of maintaining a friendship in the aftermath of their marriage. However, when Rosalind hears about the scandal surrounding David’s name, she admonishes him, ultimately telling him that he ought to be ashamed of what he’s done. At the same time, though, she later tries to tell him that she’s there for him if he needs her, saying she’ll be ready to make him a home-cooked meal whenever he wants.
