Dame Kitely is the older sister of Wellbred, as well as the the wife of a merchant named Kitely. Kitely becomes convinced that the Dame is cheating on him, and that both she and his younger sister Bridget could be having affairs with a group of men Wellbred invited to his house. In fact, at one point he specifically believes that Dame Kitely and the unmarried Bridget could be hiding Edward Knowell in his house, because Bridget is in love with him. Because of a suggestion from Wellbred, Dame Kitely also becomes suspicious that her husband may be unfaithful.
