Although in the book Mrs Brandy is a significant love interest of Stephen Black her character does not feature at all in the TV series, except as a single spoken reference.

Chapter Two, 'How is Lady Pole'; Episode 2 'Lady Pole':

Exhausted after a night's dancing in Lost Hope Stephen is trying to carry out his daily duties as butler. He hands a set of keys to a servant, reminding him "Alfred! It is your task, at this time, to lay out the silver for Mrs Brandy to polish -"

But he gets no further before being told that the servant, along with another, is planning to leave as he's frightened by the uncanny atmosphere of the house.

At the beginning of this scene a woman appears behind Stephen and lifts a large silver urn from the table beside him. She possibly represents Mrs Brandy.
