Questions & Answers
Who was Adela Pingsford? Why did she seek Eshley’s help?
Adela was Eshley’s closest neighbor. The lady had no remarkable love for art or animals but she could die for plants and flowers. One fine afternoon in late autumn she knocked on the outer door of Eshley’s studio because a stray ox had wandered into her garden and she didn’t have the courage to get the huge beast out all alone. Her garden had just been put straight for the winter, and she could not even imagine an ox roaming about in it. Apart from this, she had some finest chrysanthemums just coming into flower. Besides, she was practically all alone; the housemaid was having her afternoon out and the cook was lying down with an attack of neuralgia.
