Enid Knox
Owner of the General Store
Enid (Tabitha) Knox is a proud, haughty woman with clear opinions on the exact proper place of people in this world. She is opinionated gossipy and prone to casting dispersions on others but seems to believe that she is the modicum of discretion, decency and civility. She likes to think her foibles (if any!) are dismissed by virtue of being a good church attending Christian.
She is easily irked though often tries her best to hide her displeasure in front of others or those who cause her offense, waiting until their back is turned before saying anything. However, sometimes she allows her mouth to run away on her and says many an inappropriate and caustic remark but from her point of view in a completely moralising stance.
Her husband is the long suffering Amos Obadiah Knox who is a slave to his wife’s whims and opinions. The man is hen-pecked and carries about him a defeated nature and is completely submissive to his wife.
Enid does not easily admit to being wrong or having faults and is prone to histrionic outbursts and fits of righteous indignation. Usually she tempers these behind closed doors but on occasion she will openly vent them. But even for her attempts to hide these outbursts her behaviour is well known to the locals of Del Fuego who roll their eyes at her displays.
She is fiercely proud of her family owned General Store and the family have long been fine upstanding members of the community. Enid prides herself on catering to a finer clientèle with her wide range of imported goods for the upper market. Her husband has tried to point out on many an occasion that it is in fact the bread and butter goods that keep their business afloat (he bemoans: ‘It is a General Store dear’ to no avail) but she sniffs dismissively at such suggestions.
For all her finery and pretence at being socially upwardly mobile and charitable, Enid is in actuality penny pinching and parsimonious. But this is a fact, like so many other traits about Enid Knox, that the good folk of Del Fuego know all too well.
Just remember Enid's motto is:
'Everything in its place and a place for everything'
