G: Gauthier to Gregory

Gauthier, Lisette
Secretive fourteen-year-old Lisette Gauthier, small, pale, and dark-haired, seems to be more interested in cultivating flowers and snooping in the shadows than in making friends at the Jamestown School for Girls, where she is a scholarship student. But Cherry trusts her, and helps her in her clandestine search for a long-lost secret hidden in the walls of the old chateau that houses the school (Boarding School Nurse).

Grainger, Lucia
A golden-haired young English woman, the daughter of Frances Eldredge, Lucia married Mark Grainger and lived in the United States with him while he attended graduate school in engineering. When they returned to England shortly before the start of World War II, she had a baby girl, Muriel. Lucia was killed shortly afterward, buried in a cave-in when a German bomb struck her home in London (Flight Nurse).

Grainger, Mark
Suspected of being a spy by wary neighbors and his mother-in-law, Mark Grainger shrugs off any questions about why he's left the British army or about his mysterious comings-and-goings. Cherry wonders, "Was he callous, cynical--or did he have a clear conscience despite the silent accusation in this room?" (Flight Nurse, p. 91). Cherry sees him on a restricted airfield, and learns that he gave his daughter, Muriel, a medal stamped "Berlin."

Grainger, Muriel
Bewildered by the neighborhood's distrust of her father, Muriel is a six-year-old English girl whose mother was killed in a London bombing. She is cared for by her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Eldredge, while her father is frequently and suspiciously absent. Cherry and the other nurses make her their unofficial mascot, fitting her out in a miniature flight nurse's uniform (Flight Nurse).

Grant, Lieutenant Gene
Gene Grant is Charlie's crew mate on an Air Transport Command C-47. When the plane is shot at on a supply run to Island 14, where Cherry is stationed, Gene is wounded, dazed, and silent. Cherry and Charlie realize that his unusual wound points to the existence of a new enemy weapon--and the presence of enemy forces closer than had been believed. While still recuperating, Gene leaves the hospital to join the battle after an enemy attack: "Of course I went out," he tells Cherry. "Do you think I'd stay behind when I'm needed?" (Chief Nurse, p. 190).

Gray, Agnes
A former stewardess, Agnes Gray is one of the nurses assigned to Cherry's Flight Three. Slightly older than the others, she had survived three crashes on civilian airliners and logged seventeen hundred hours of flying time before becoming an army nurse. From New England, she is poised and pretty, with brown hair and eyes; she loves to play bridge (Flight Nurse).

Gregory, Mary
Eighteen years ago, a pretty young woman moved into a Victorian mansion that had been closed up for years, arranged with a local grocer for weekly food deliveries, then never was seen to set foot outside the door again--though neighbors had sometimes glimpsed a ghostly figure in a white dress on an upstairs balcony on summer evenings. Strange shadows show through the closed lace curtains at night, and sometimes passersby hear the strains of piano music. Cherry learns the reclusive woman's tragic secret and tries to help her return to the world (Visiting Nurse).
