Miss Harbottle

In the novel The Body in the Library, Miss Harbottle is mentioned by Miss Marple. She lived with her brother. After she went away for a while, to nurse a dying relative, their maidservant was completely above herself.

When Miss Harbottle spoke to her brother about this, he said that she had kept the house for him long enough. Miss Harbottle ended up having to rent rooms in Eastbourne.
