The ironical situation in the chapter ‘The Dear Departed’ can be described as:
Mrs. Slater sends for Dr Pringle as soon as she realises that grandfather is dead. However, Dr Pringle could not come as he was out. This was the fatal mistake according to which grandfather could have been revived had Mrs. Slater sent for another doctor. It is this blunder on Mrs. Slater’s part that Mrs. Jordan describes as fatal, which describes the irony of the situation.
