Miss King
Written by
W. Somerset Maugham
Copyright 1928
The aged governess of two adult daughters of an Egyptian Prince, a woman of British nationality, wants nothing to do with Ashenden as the group she is with stays at the same hotel as he in Geneve. At least not until she is on death's door. Meanwhile, the Prince is far too interested for Ashenden's like.
