Jenny (Human Nature novel character)

In the Summer of 1914, in Farringham, Bernice Summerfield sped past Jenny and Jill, exchanging social courtesies. The duo of housewives resumed arguing with each other about an overhanging tree as Bernice continued on, the two wives standing on either side the fence that separated their homes.

The next day, they should presumably argue about each others dogs; the duo seemed to enjoy arguing, and if Bernice showed up, one of them would talk to her, with the other housewife quickly disagreeing, starting another argument. (PROSE: Human Nature)

Behind the scenes
While there exists a Jenny in the adaption, Human Nature/The Family of Blood, there exists very little commonality between the characters, apart from their names. Jenny, in the television story, has a much larger role, being a maid at Farringham School for Boys who is taken over by Mother of Mine.
