She has never been seen driving any vehicle, perhaps her husband Ludwig handled the driving? |

Biography:
Matilda McDuck was born in Glasgow? in 1871 as the middle of three siblings. She was thus still a child when her 4 years older brother Scrooge left Scotland for America.
In 1902 she left Scotland and went to America together with the rest of her siblings. From 1902 to 1930 she, Hortense and Quackmore worked for Scrooge. Around 1908 while Scrooge was on a trip abroad they hired Miss Emily Quackfaster as Scrooges new secretary.
When Scrooge finally returned to Duckburg in 1930 she and the rest of the family prepared for a nice reunion, but because of Scrooges unpleasant behaviour when he returned she left him, together with the rest of the family...
In A Letter from Home or The Old Castles's Other Secret Don Rosa shows that some time after Scottie McTerrier's death in 1948 she took the job as caretaker of the McDuck-estate in Scotland wihout letting her brother Scrooge know about it. Some people have argued that this contradicts the theory of her being married to Ludwig von Drake. That conclusion may be to quick. This story takes place in the mid-1950s while Ludwig doesn't appear in Duckburg until 1961. Thus the two may have been married after the incidents told in A Letter from Home or The Old Castles's Other Secret or maybe the were already married - when Matilda could hide for Scrooge the fact that she was his own employee she could also hide the fact that she was married.
