Question

Character sketch of mrs.umney in about 150 words

Answer 1

Mrs. Umney

Mrs. Umney was the old housekeeper at Canterville Chase whom Mrs. Otis had continued keeping in employment at the request of Lady Canterville. She had been serving at the Chase for the last fifty years and knew the mansion thoroughly. She had been frightened and scared by the ghost of Sir Canterville, and somehow, the ghost had managed to allow her live in the Chase. She knew about the history about the Chase and Sir Simon D Canterville. It was she who told the Otis family the secret behind the red stain on the library floor.  At the end she was one of the very few people who attended her funeral. She had been given this privilege because of her long service at Canterville chase.
