His eldest daughter Fleur had taken over for her mother in all the duties of the household, and for her, Sir Walter believed himself prepared to sacrifice nearly anything. As she was the loveliest of his daughters, and the most like himself, she was also his favorite. His youngest daughter Lavender was not quite so pretty, but had managed to become Mrs. Ronald Weasley, and thus had raised herself a little in his esteem. It was his middle daughter, Pansy, who was witty and perhaps a bit sharp, that he most disregarded—after all, she was only Pansy.
