Jane (The Lamp)

In the short story The Lamp, Jane is one of the domestic staff employed by Mrs Lancaster at her house in Weyminster. The house has a parlourmaid, a house maid and a nurse for Mrs Lancaster's son Geoffrey. Jane could be any of these three but is most likely to be the nurse, as Geoffrey talks to her most often. He asks her for permission to play in the attic. Geoffrey tells Jane that there is this little boy watching him who looks like he wants to join in. Geoffrey asks Jane if he can play with this boy. Jane tells him not to tell naughty stories and that there is no other boy in the house.
