Added DiffLines:

* ParentPreferredSuitor: Lyle is Beatrice's preferred choice for a son-in-law. Even after hearing how he [[DirtyCoward abandoned Ursula to a lion attack]] and shot George, she fully expects Ursula to still go through with the marriage, and thinks that George is a savage oaf who isn't worthy of her daughter. In the sequel, she has no problem with Lyle [[spoiler:hypnotising Ursula into thinking she's still in love with him]], and gleefully conspires with him against George (though his [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense lack of common sense]] annoys her).
