MissMebbin was a very selfish, mean, and unethical lady. She was a real Mammonworshiper. It appears as if money was the sole purpose of her existence. Shealways adopted a protective elder-sister attitude towards money. In herpresence, she would not allow any money be wasted in tips to waiters. Sheshowed mean professional ethics, when she blackmailed Mrs Packletide. No doubtshe succeeded in extorting 680 pounds, but she must have earned a badreputation among her clients.
