In another work, this author wrote about "two American ladies of ripe but well-cared-for middle age" who talk about their daughters and think about their dead husbands while sitting on a terrace; in that story, a woman who treasures the only letter she ever received from an old lover tries to use (*) knitting to distract herself from memories of an old love triangle. This author wrote about Jenny's mother, Mrs. Slade, who tried to trick Barbara's mother into going to the Colosseum at night in order to catch the title disease.
