Pen portrait of Mrs umney

Mrs. Umney is the housekeeper of Canterville Chase. She is an old woman who has been plagued for a long time by the Canterville Ghost. She is tries to convince the Otis family of the presence of a ghost. She is reminiscent of ancient traditions where ghosts and spirits were common beliefs. Her character contrasts with that of the brusque nature of the members of the Otis family, who dismiss the notion of ghosts.
