Miss Jordan

In the short story The Girdle of Hyppolita, Miss Jordan is a middle-aged spinster who travelled on the same train from London to Paris as the one from which the English schoolgirl Winnie King disappeared. Miss Jordan and her travelling companion Miss Butters were on their way to Switzerland. Although they were in the same carriage as Winnie, Detective Inspector Hearn ruled them out as suspects. They were highly respectable, and well known in Hampshire where that had come from.
