After his death in 1879 , she earned herself a prominent place in English literary life as a Novelist , and later as a Dramatist . Her best-known story, ''Mrs Keith's Crime'' (1885), was followed by several other volumes, the best-known of which is ''Aunt Anne'' (1893). She wrote also ''The Last Touches and Other Stories'' (1892) and ''Mere Stories '' (1896); and a play, ''A Woman Alone'' (1898).
