Willie Brent writes a letter to Aunt Beryl threatening to come to her front door if she doesn’t meet him in Pullman’s Bush later that night. He is likely a past or current lover of Aunt Beryl, and probably of a lower class. His threat to come to the front door would embarrass Aunt Beryl, who likely does not want anyone to know she is in any way associated with Willie.

The Doll’s House
Quotes
The afternoon had been awful. A letter had come from Willie Brent, a terrifying, threatening letter, saying if she did not meet him that evening in Pulman's Bush, he'd come to the front door and ask the reason why! But now that she had frightened those little rats of Kelveys and given Kezia a good scolding, her heart felt lighter. That ghastly pressure was gone. She went back to the house humming.
