Catherine McCabbage

Catherine McCabbage is a small mouse widow in black, shown to Gangie as a "weeping widow" at the vicar's rectory in the middle of the night MM E1·00:07:46. She tells Vicar Ian that she keeps feeling she hears her late husband Connor's voice outside the window, and asks whether he might be trying to reach out MM E1·00:11:41 MM E1·00:12:21. She says Connor died in the mill, that Ian blamed negligence, and that some had said it was murder MM E1·00:13:53. Brennan says she walks home to where her mother is staying to help with her now fatherless children MM E1·00:23:41.

Catherine is the mouse widow of Connor McCabbage, who comes to the rectory at night saying she hears his voice on the wind and asking Vicar Ian whether he might be reaching out MM E1·00:11:41 MM E1·00:12:21. She recalls that some had said his death at the mill was murder MM E1·00:13:53.

During the storm she turns up at Loam Hall's front door, drenched, crying "I've seen him! I've seen my Connor!" MM E6·02:22:50. In MM_07 she tells the vicar and Daisy that she lives in a cottage across the river and saw his ghost MM E7·00:06:14. She says she saw him in a dark room on the second floor, at the second window from the south-east corner, looking surprised and scared MM E7·00:26:22. At Daisy's request she hides in the armoire, and later crawls under the bed MM E7·01:24:45 MM E7·01:46:43. At the squire's desk she reads aloud a threatening letter signed with Sylvester Cross's name MM E7·01:33:56. In MM_09 she is still in the house with the other guests MM E9·02:00:40.

In MM_10 Brennan says she has been hearing her husband's voice on the wind for months MM E10·00:34:12. At the end she is weeping in Connor's arms in the drawing room, and tells the vicar "Vicar, I tell ya right now, I do believe in miracles!" MM E10·02:26:48 MM E10·02:27:02.
