Of extraordinary empathy and compassion Katherine Mansfield knows the pangs of a spinster 's heart. and creates Ms. Meadows with great poise.
- Miss Meadows lived in an age when girls, after their early youth, did not stay single for very long. Marriage had eluded her for a long time, because of some unknown explanation.
- So the engagement with Basil had given Miss Meadows a rush of anticipation. She received a telegram from Basil suddenly, regarding the calling off of wedding after which the world started to seem dark for her.
- She thinks that the Sun has sunk in her life and she'd live a spinster all her life. In a rather theatrical way, Katherine made Ms. Meadows lament her fate. It may seem silly to few but such a reaction is so normal and touching in the mind of a woman just rejected by her fiancé.
