The Feast (2011)
“The Omniscience of Miss Ellis Miss Ellis had much to say on Monday morning about the beds of Mrs. Paley and Miss Wraxton. But her speculations were conducted without any help from Nancibel, who had caught sight of the truants on the cliff as she came to work and decided to hold her tongue.

‘Not touched since we made them yesterday,’ declared Miss Ellis. ‘Whatever does it mean? If it was only Mr. Paley I wouldn’t be surprised. He of...ten sits up all night.’ ‘All the less work for me,’ said Nancibel.
‘For us both. We’d better do Lady Guzzle.’ ‘We can’t. She’s still in her bed.’ ‘My patience! Where would this house be if I lay in bed all day?’ Pretty much where it’s always been, thought Nancibel and followed Miss Ellis upstairs to the Coves’ dormitory. This was a quick room to do as its occupants had neat habits. All the four beds were stripped and the sheets hung over the rails at the end.MoreLess
