curls.
Lord Petre:A young nobleman, one of Belinda’s
suitors. He admires Belinda so much that he wants one of her curls as a keepsake and
snips it off at a party when she bends her head over a cup. He refuses to return the
curl, and it disappears to become a star.
Spleen:The queen
of bad tempers and the source of detestable qualities in human beings. She supplies
Umbriel with magic substances.

maid.
