"Let's keep her on if we can," said Harriet, a little confused at being deferred to (since Bunter, after all, was likely to suffer most from Mrs. Ruddle's peculiarities). "She always worked here and she knows where everything is, and she seems to be doing her best."
She glanced doubtfully at Peter, who said: "The worst I know of her is that she doesn't like my face, but that will hurt her more than it will me. I mean, you know, she's the one that has to look at it."
(from Busman's Honeymoon, by Dorothy L. Sayers)
