Chair

Chairundefined (formerly Celine), played by Christina Hendricks, is a new household servant who is a former prostitute and the Commodore's secret mistress. Celine was renamed by Beatrice after having too pretty a name to be a servant's name. Chair spends most of her time resenting the Commodore's promise to be "kept" by him, and instead has to work much harder than she did as a prostitute for less money. Chair is wily and clever and uses her sexuality to manipulate those around her. She woos Garfield by giving him a towel, tricks Blanche by using her dreams of a factory job against her, and even drugs Dodo to keep her from discovering her own affair with the Commodore. Chair is the dominant one in the relationship, and often makes the Commodore beg or crawl for her like a dog. Chair becomes pregnant by the Commodore and has to combat Hamish's threats of exposure and blackmail. She eventually forces the Commodore to regard her as an equal as an "upstairs woman" before Blanche discovers her treachery against the family and the servants, resulting in Chair's assumed death and the miscarriage of her unborn child.
