Answer :
This question is based on the short story 'Mrs. Packletide's Tiger' by Saki.
The phrase 'book of patterns before post time' has been used to describe the changes in Mrs. Packletide's facial expressions when she realized that Miss Mebbin was a shrewd woman who was blackmailing her.
Miss Mebbin had just revealed her intention of sharing her knowledge about the tiger hunt with Miss Loona Bimberton. The fear of public embarrassment on the possible disclosure of the fact that she had killed the wrong animal worried Mrs. Packletide and caused her face to change color rapidly.
