Mapp & Lucia, tome 2 : Miss Mapp
E. F. Benson1922

Here is the redoubtable 'triumphantly arch of all arch villianesses,' Miss Elizabeth Mapp of Tilling - a schemer, a woman of fine habits and low cunning who spends her days in the delightful bow window of her delightful period house, light opera glasses in hand, noting and annotating the business of her neighbours. Not a thing escapes her gimlet eyes, from the purchase of a basket of over-ripe red-currants, to the unfortunate drinking habits of Captain Puffin.
