“Miss Grief” ~my reaction~
Wow, such a touching story. I smiled and laughed, and felt saddened, but knew the sad parts had to come, so I wasn’t as sad to break to tears. It was more accepted and apart of life. Quite a nice story. Again it had two women in it, but their relationship didn’t seem to be as strong as the others, in the sense that the one one women was solitary and alone and hones her aunt to help her, but thaty didn’t seem to be as close to one another as in the ‘Long Arm’ and ‘Two Friends’. I wonder if this is the way she felt (author) unknown, sad, and, lonely, but had a women friend by her side. Again similar to the ‘Long Arm’ and ‘Two Friends’ there is old age, and the playing around of death and loneliness. Unlike the other two stories, there is not as prominent deception of one woman stopping a relation with a man, instead the women supports her and walks with her to the man’s house. As I said not a huge love relation, more of a supportive and secluded—both the women don’t seem to be open to one another.
Overall, I liked it and wished to hear more.

Agreed: they're not as close as the other women in "The Long Arm" or "Two Friends"--at least on the surface. I see an interesting parallel between the maid or whoever she is and the doctor in Miss Grief's story. You can't quite eliminate either character--try as you might.
