Most of her stories were ones of passion and love set in India and other British colonial possessions. The story begins: I shall certainly call upon her myself, said Mrs. Winch. And I shall advise the Vicar to do the same. I am sure he will follow your advice, said Miss Barnet rather fulsomely. Miss Barnet was always nervously fulsome in the presence of her employer. Mrs. Winch paid no attention of any sort to her-also her invariable custom. To speak to Miss Barnet was very much the same as to speak to oneself. She never disagreed and nearly always applauded.
