A local woman who lives in the fishing village of Cobb’s Hole near the Verinder estate. Because Yolland’s family—and especially her daughter Limping Lucy—is close to Rosanna Spearman, Betteredge and Sergeant Cuff visit Mrs. Yolland a few times during the latter’s investigation. While Betteredge is frustrated by her low class and his task translating her “Yorkshire language” into proper educated English, Cuff masterfully sweet-talks her into revealing virtually everything she knows about Rosanna.
