Shen, Yanbing. Yingguo wen tan jin kuang [ID D30049].
"While most English writers imply mockery in their humour, Mansfield includes in her humour a sense of pathos for the plight of the unfortunate. Take The daughers of the late Colonel from this collection for example. It describes the state of mind of two spinsters at the death of their tyrannical father. Their reaction is a mixture of pleasurable relief and incredulity. The story is extremely humorous, yet free of contempt for them."
