Question

Louisa Mebbin's pretty week-end cottage, christened by her "Les Fauves," and gay in summer-time with its garden borders of tiger-lilies, is the wonder and admiration of her friends
What this tells us about the character?

Answer 1

She is very greedy woman, who behaved like a professional companion who was just concerned about her payment and intended to save as much as possible. Her attitude was quite money-minded and arrogant.
