Description
Sra. Miligan, an English widow of aristocratic lineage, manages her family's affairs after her husband's death prior to their second son Arthur's birth. Under English inheritance laws, her brother-in-law James Milligan would inherit the family fortune without a legitimate heir. Her firstborn child vanished under suspicious circumstances in France during James Milligan's guardianship, prompting her years-long search.
Arthur requires a wheelchair due to a debilitating hip condition, leading Sra. Miligan to traverse France on the river barge *Swan* for his medical treatment and clues about her missing child. Near Toulouse, she encounters Rémi and Vitalis, offering Rémi refuge during Vitalis' imprisonment and forming a bond with him. Though she invites Rémi to stay aboard the *Swan*, she honors Vitalis' decision to continue traveling with the boy upon his release.
Her quest persists. Years later, Rémi discovers his cradle clothes bear the Milligan family emblem, prompting his journey to London. Sra. Miligan welcomes Rémi and his friend Mattia into her London home, unaware of Rémi's identity. James Milligan and the Driscoll family—abductors of her firstborn—manipulate her into distancing herself from Rémi through false accusations, though she retains compassion for him.
Rémi ultimately proves his identity as her lost son Richard Milligan using the cradle emblem and exposes James Milligan's treachery. Sra. Miligan reunites joyfully with Rémi/Richard, adopts Mattia as his brother, and secures a stable home for her children. Arthur eventually walks again, and Rémi finds his place in the family.
In the 1996 anime *Remi, Nobody's Girl*, Sra. Miligan searches for her long-lost daughter (Rémi, gender-swapped), travels with Arthur on the *Swan*, shelters Rémi, and reunites with her after thwarting antagonist Gaspard. She adopts Rémi's companions, including Mattia. The 2018 film *Rémi Sans Famille* similarly depicts her as an aristocratic mother seeking her missing child and temporarily connecting with Rémi before their reunion.
