Cynthia also works in the dispensary of a nearby hospital. Isn't that convenient for acquiring a bottle of poison? There is also Evelyn Howard, Mrs. Inglethorp's companion and assistant. She is "a pleasant looking woman of about forty, with a deep voice, almost manly in its stentorian tones, and had a large sensible square body." Soon after Hastings's arrival at Styles, Evelyn leaves her employment with Mrs. Inglethorp. Her leaving came after a heated argument with Emily where Evelyn said, "You're an old woman, Emily, and there's no fool like an old fool. The man's twenty years younger than you, and don't you fool yourself as to what he married you for. Money! I'm going to warn you, whether you like it or not. That man would as soon murder you in your bed as look at you
