She was a shrewd, capable woman, very energetic and fairminded,who loathed, above all things, laziness. frivolity and injustice.
Her maids worked under, a' constant stream of orders, ad- vice and reproaches, and it went ill with anyone who ex- cited her dérision, for she had a pronounced gift for homely epigram. Of one character she said that he was "like'a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow."
