I'm not sure, but I thiink the writer attempted to dip into a soup that was the larger story of Lady Crenshaw to give us a low-price short story just in time for Christmas.  The effect was a bit confusing, and not very satisfying.  I did admire the economy with which she established her characters, but they came off as caricatures: The wife is in a muddle, the dowager granny is a tyrant, the husband is a love-struck ninny, the Uncle and his bride are villains, and the neighbors are nuts. Don't waste your money on this.
