Emily Carnaby

In the short story The Nemean Lion, Miss Emily Carnaby is the sister of Amy Carnaby. She lives in a third floor flat at No. 10 Rosholm Mansions in Kensington with Amy's pekinese dog Augustus. Because she is an invalid, her sister Amy has to support her. Amy herself is concerned of eventually becoming too old to hold a position as a lady's companion. She therefore devised a scheme to raise money involving the talents of Augustus.

Emily and Amy's father was the Vicar of Kellington in Essex.
