Betty describes the aunt as quite old and very victorian, Betty travelled to see her with her mother by train and was dressed very smartly with white gloves and hat which she was not allowed to get dirty.  The maiden aunt did not seem to be married as no man was present.  She was middle class and Betty had to be onher best behaviour, only speaking when spoken to.
