Miss Muriel Stacy
Aunt Josephine is Diana’s father’s elderly, rich aunt, known to be very prim and proper. When Diana and Anne unknowingly leap into her guest room bed in the middle of the night, Aunt Josephine is infuriated by their indecorum. However, Anne’s beseeching apology tickles her, and she quickly becomes fond of “that Anne-girl,” prompting Anne to label her a “kindred spirit” after all. Anne and Diana visit her at her mansion in Charlottetown, and Anne often dines and attends church with her during her Queen’s year.
