“And the residue of my estate to my dear cousin and name-sake, Grace Julia Stepney” (Wharton 180). This line of Mrs. Peniston’s will shows her to be a flat character. She seams to be to her death only interested in the joyous gossip of the rich and their parties. When it comes to the scandalous side of the rich she ignores it. She seams to believe that it only happens in history or books. This aversion to immorality is shown by her when she disinherits Miss Bart. After her disinheritance Lily is helped by Carry Fisher and Gerty to deal with this situation. Carry Fisher introduces lily to another group of people more excepting of people and she suggest people she could marry to relieve herself of her financial burdens.
