Mrs. Docket (Afterward)

It is not clear who Mrs. Docket is and what she does. She is mentioned once in chapter three of the story and seems to be a person that is somewhat in charge of the maids or at least qualified to order them around, otherwise she would not have been able to send the kitchen maid to deal with Bob Elwell as tries to get to Ned Boyne (Wharton 360).
