大象传媒

Phyllis Muspratt is the epitome of all that Rebecca despises: a genteel little widow who can't manage without a man to do the odd jobs about the house.

She鈥檚 pathetically eager to make friends - and Rebecca manages to reduce her to tears on their first meeting.

But she's a near neighbour and can't be ignored.
