Lady Susan Clonray

In the short story The Case of the Missing Lady, Lady Susan Clonray is the aunt of Hermione Leigh Gordon. Gabriel Stavansson, a noted Arctic explorer came back early from an expedition to the north pole and called at the residence of Lady Susan, believing that his fiancee Hermione was staying with her aunt. To his surprise, Lady Susan told him that Hermione had gone off to visit friends in Northumberland. Lady Susan was extremely vague about where she had gone and when Stavansson coaxed some addresses out of her and went to Northumberland, he found that Hermione had never been to those places. Suspicious that something was wrong, Stavansson consulted The International Detective Agency.

Stavansson, who does not get on well with Lady Susan, described her as "one of those fat women with double chins". She lives on Pont Street in London, which is also the street where Virginia Revel (from The Secret of Chimneys) lives.
