Chatty MacLean

Charlotte 'Chatty' MacLean was a sweet, sensitive old widow of Windy Poplars. Distant relation of Kate MacComber, she buttermilked her face every night, read novels, and played an occasional game of cards—all of which were stored in a 'hidy-hole' located in a chair.

Early Life
Unknown.

Later Life
Chatty MacLean, in her later years, married a man by the name of MacLean. Lincoln was an 'old crank'... nobody minded but Chatty thought people held it against her.

Life at Windy Poplars
Chatty's life at Windy Poplars is described in the book Anne of Windy Poplars. Extremely sensitive, wistful, superstitious and a novel-reader and card-player, Chatty found a great friend in Anne. She came up to the tower room every evening to buttermilk her face, but swore Anne to secrecy of this fact. "Kate would think it so frivolous..."

Chatty stored her books and cards in a 'hidy-hole' in secret spot of her chair. Rebecca Dew, after all, would make short work of such things if she found them!
