Marcia Keane

In the short story The Voice in the Dark, Marcia Keane is the best friend of Margery Gale and either stays with Margery at Abbot's Mede or is a regular guest. She is "as crazy about horses" as Margery is.

Marcia is described as a tall dark girl and she tells Mr Satterthwaite that she is rather sceptical about Margery's claim to have heard "a voice in the dark". Margery says that Marcia "has been with me all along" but the text is also contradictory as Mr Satterthwaite notes, "The pheonomena (of the voice) had only taken place in the last two months. Had only taken place since Marcia Keane and Roley Vavasour had been there."
