April Hall
Quote 4
"You don't like your grandmother very much, do you?"
April just shrugged, but her eyes got narrow.
"I don't see why," Melanie said. "She seems pretty nice to me."
"She doesn't like my mother," April said. "She doesn't even think that Dorothea's going to send for me to come home pretty soon." (4.12-15)
The tension between April and Caroline is strong enough that even Melanie can pick up on it. April explains it away by saying that Caroline disapproves of Dorothea—and at this point, April thinks she'll always be on her mother's side.
