Defenders of the Manor - Daughters of the manor

Here are the next three defenders of the manor:  the daughters of the squire.  (aside - what was the pre-revolutionary equivalent of 'squire'?  Quick Google search says 'помещик', or 'pomeshchik', is the Russian equivalent to 'laird' or 'landlord'.  See, this hobby encourages research and ongoing learning!).

There are three of these young ladies, and they remind me of Lady Mary, Lady Edith and Lady Sybil.  I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide which figure represents each of the Crawley sisters!
