Annie (The Secret Adversary)

In the novel The Secret Adversary, Annie is the house parlourmaid of Rita Vandemeyer.

According to Albert, Annie had always said that Mrs Vandemeyer was a bad lot, and that she would not be surprised if the police came after her.

Albert also says that Annie has style about her, and cleans the silver well, but she has a temper.

Annie leaves Mrs Vandemeyer's service, saying that servants are someone, and deserve to be treated accordingly. She tells Albert that with her passing the word around, Mrs Vandemeyer will not find it easy to get another maid.

When Tuppence applies for the job, Annie is displeased, and tells Tuppence that it is a rotten place, and that Mrs Vandemeyer is always interfering. Annie says that Mrs Vandemeyer had accused her of tampering with her letters, and that she is suspicious.
