How would you interpret the phrase ‘my Miss Daley’? I send greetings from my Miss Daley, who enjoys her chats with your Mrs. Brown. And cheers from Miss James in the mailing room who says your letters mount up there as always, fragrant with perfume, despite rumors of your engagement. Many will be gratified to know another of your books will soon be available. How would you interpret the phrase ‘my Miss Daley’ in first sentence? I think it refers to the man’s secretary, right? PS: the letter writer was an editor. The recipient was a novelist and Mrs. Brown was his secretary. Thanks! And this excerpt is taken from The Lacuna by Kingsolver.
