	As noted about the young and naive [[Sacharissa Cripslock]], she makes the fundamental error of confusing mannerisms with manners, and thinks good breeding and etiquette go hand-in-hand. She therefore has mixed feelings about [[Mustrum Ridcully]], who, in {{MP}}, offends her sensibilities in the course of a delicate discussion concerning [[Riktor\|vases spitting at her staff]], a much put-upon maid called [[Ksandra]]. What she delicately terms "Hexpectorating" (a pun on "hex" and "expectorate", not incidentally) is interpreted by Ridcully as "Oh, can't have that, vases gobbin' over people". Mrs Whitlow is a mistress of the unnecessary aspirant, often putting in an additional "H" at the start of words, as it sounds posher.

	She plays a minor role in most books, but a major role in {{TLC}}, when she is accidentally trapped with the wizards on a primitive island thousands of years in the past (she thinks this is a prank the wizards are playing).

She plays a minor role in most books, but a major role in {{TLC}}, when she is accidentally trapped with the wizards on a primitive island thousands of years in the past (she thinks this is a prank the wizards are playing). Some of the wizards (including the [[Dean]], but ''particularly'' the [[Senior Wrangler]]) show a strong tendency to obsess over Mrs Whitlow throughout the novel. The entire University group find themselves accidentally rejuvenated by temporal fluxes during their stay on the island. Unlike the Wizards, whose morphic fields correct themselves back to old (or middle) age, Mrs. Whitlow never reverts from her youthful appearance, suggesting that at her core she remains youthful. This idea also occurs in {{RM}}, in which we learn that [[Miss Flitworth]] has a soul that has remained 18 years old despite her long life.

			Mrs. Whitlow is responsible for creating the ''newzealand'': this is like a bikini in that it comes in two halves, but it covers a far larger area, separated by a comparatively narrow strait.
