Kathleen Flannery

Doctor (PhD) Kathleen Flannery was the head of the staff of curators and art historians accompanying The Two Georges on its tour of the North American Union. She and her staff were based at the All-Union Art Museum in Victoria.

She had porcelain-pale skin, high, strong, forward-thrusting cheekbones, and a narrow jaw. Along with her features, her green eyes and red-gold hair proclaimed her Irish heritage. Colonel Thomas Bushell was smitten as soon as he saw her.

Doctor Flannery accompanied Colonel Bushell when he inspected the security arrangements for The Two Georges. She also pointed out some of the attributes of the painting when he examined it in detail.

She was present in the governor's mansion when the painting was stolen by the Sons of Liberty and in fact was the first to realize the significance when the alarm began to ring. Because of her position and due to her background, she was one of the suspects in the case that Bushell had difficulty in eliminating.
