SHE was something of a puzzle to the other passengers. They couldn't quite place her. She came on board the P. and O. at Marseilles. Being Christmas week the boat was not crowded, and she had a cabin to herself on the spar deck, so there was no "stable-companion" to find out anything about her. The sharp-eyed Australian lady, who sat opposite her at the Purser's table, decided that she was not married, or even engaged, as she wore no rings of any kind.

People at her table decided that she couldn't be going out as a governess or she would hardly be travelling first class, and yet she did not look of the sort who globe-trot all by themselves.

Autorenporträt
Lizzie Allen Harker was born in 1863 in Gloucester, United Kingdom, to parents James Allen and Elizabeth Allen. She became known as an English novelist and playwright, recognized for her thoughtful portrayals of domestic life and the emotional intricacies of women s experiences. Harker s works often focused on themes of duty, resilience, and the quiet strength found in everyday situations, making her stories resonate with readers in the early 20th century. One of her most notable accomplishments was co-authoring the play Marigold, which gained significant popularity and was later adapted into a film in 1938. The story s enduring appeal led to its inclusion in the BBC Radio s Saturday Night Theatre in 1943, making it part of a pioneering moment in broadcast drama. Harker's writing style reflected the period s social expectations while offering a subtle critique through strong, perceptive female characters. She had a keen understanding of family dynamics and emotional nuance, which she brought to her fiction with clarity and empathy. Lizzie Allen Harker died in 1933 in Cirencester at the age of 70, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be appreciated for its insight into the complexities of women s inner lives.
