the writer makes fun of miss Mebbin by highlights her stinginess.he describes Miss Mebbin's stinginess in these words "protective elder sister attitude towards money in general."
she urges Mrs Packletide to shoot the tiger before it touches the goat as they wouldnot need to pay extra money for the bait.but miss mebbib was a shrewd and calculating woman .she just orally pretended to be a well wisher of mrs packletide and support her false story of tiger hunting.when mrs packletide git enough coverage ,miss mebbin revealed her true character. she slyly hinted at the possibility of covering the truth and blackmailed miss packletide and is forced to buy a cottage for her.she is materialistic and greedy.she has no regrets and lives lavishly in her weekend cottage. to add insult to the injury she planted tiger lilies in her garden as a special reminder of the incident that led to her acquiring the cottage.
