Lady Hathaway's House Party (1980)
“Traveller there. She disliked it, but supposed that with guests there was no other room vacant. She went into her own room and called Marie, who came and helped her get ready for bed. A white lawn nightgown and matching peignoir with rosebuds worked around the yoke. After Marie left, she went to the door of the adjoining room and heard the unmistakable sound of movement in the room. The Traveller making her preparations for the night. She went to her dressing table and began brushing out her ha...ir. There was suddenly a light tap at the door, and she paused, brush in midair.
What could the woman want? It darted into her head that she was about to become involved in a scene, a confrontation with “the other woman.” Every atom of her body recoiled against such vulgar melodrama. She made no reply, hoping the tap wouldn’t be repeated, and even as she sat hoping, it came again, a little more loudly. She’d let on she was asleep—the door was locked, and the woman couldn’t enter.
But Mrs.MoreLess
