The unmarried aunt: everyone's convenience, everyone's second thought, the woman who is sent for when a child has measles and sent home when it is over. Wemyss wrote the English at their least heroic, and this 1913 book is a comedy told by the aunt herself, in her own voice, with a clear-eyed account of exactly what the family thinks she is for.
