Galatea ate thoughtfully for a moment following that statement, before noting, "Such as our guest for dinner this evening. I have not had much to do with the governors here." Indeed, she had always presumed that they knew of her existence on paper, but were never aware of the details. It could easily have been the intention of the restrictions placed upon - or rather, guidance given regarding - her involvement in the school outside of her duties. Which thought rather led her to say, "Miss McQuillen is a most interesting character."
Perhaps unfortunate that her voice and manner of speaking gave more portentious weight to what might otherwise have been a completely innocuous sentence.
