Answer :
This question is based on the short story 'Mrs. Packletide's Tiger' by Saki.
Miss Mebbin was Mrs. Packletide's paid companion for the tiger hunt and was involved in the organisation of the tiger hunt along with the villagers. She knew that Mrs. Packletide had shot the goat instead of the tiger and that the tiger was an old and senile beast who had died from cardiac arrest from the loud retort of the gun. She used this information to blackmail Mrs. Packletide that if she refused to comply with her wishes, she would pass on the information to her arch-rival Miss Loona Bimberton.
In the end, Mrs. Packletide had to pay her more than what had been decided before and also buy her a weekend cottage to keep her secret safe.
