The character-sketch of Mrs Packltide from Mrs Packletide's Tiger by Saki
Mrs Packltide was gifted with extremely injured vanity which was the consequence of her rich possessions in India. This vanity was her joy and grief at the same time. As she was a well-to-do woman nothing bothered her, of course except her vanity, that’s why her life was an example of stupidity. Being subconscious of her sin Mrs Packltide let it all freedom so that all her movements and motives were governed by her dislike of Loona Bimberton. One can’t be jealous of Mrs Packltide; big sums of money always stir people’s minds so that they begin living a life of a servant in order to satisfy every single whim of theirs. And Mrs Packletide arranged victorious revenge in her mind to counter expenses which Lonna B had recently made.
One more consequence of wealth is sloth and Mrs. Packltide wasn’t an exception. That was why she decided to offer a thousand rupees for the opportunity of shooting a tiger without overmuch risk or exertion. The tiger had been found and the great night duly arrived, though the shooting was a failure. But Mrs Packltide looked as if she could say a booh to a goose that was why she easily lied. Though at the end it cost her a lot of money.
As Mrs Packltide wasn’t interested in anything except the life of her rival that was quite naturally to expect her not to be a woman of any discernment. And the result of her blindness was her paid companion Miss Mebbin who managed to make most of the situation.
