The Baroness sent a letter to the manager of an apartment to inform him that she will take her child to live there. People living in the apartment were excited to know this news. One day a young girl came with a child by a carriage to the apartment. She said she was the sister of the Baroness. Then many people begun to admire her and talked about her dressing, her manner and so on. There are six young men altogether to propose marriage to her. However, when the Baroness really arrived, she wants to find her maid, who is the daughter of her dressmaker. She said she has no sister at all. It is a sharp satire on the snobbishness of the people in that age.

Katherine Mansfield (14 October 1888—9 January 1923) was a prominent modernist writer of short fiction who was born and brought up in colonial New Zealand. Her stories often focus on moments of disruption and frequently open rather abruptly. Among her most well-known stories are The Garden Party, Bliss and The Fly. All her works have depicted the existing state of women. She has paved the way for the solution of the social problem of female emancipation in a uniquely literary manner.

Virginia Woolf once described Katherine Mansfield as "of the cat kind, alien, composed, always solitary and observant."
