Mrs Meadowsweet

Mrs. Meadowsweet and her homely guest house, Respite, seem to mellow garrulous Alice, much to sister Fleur's suspicion

All of the guests seem particularly amiable and pleasant - in fact, without a care in the world

Fleur's suspicions are further aroused by their inability to remember even the slightest occurrence from their pasts

Alice also forgets her grievance against Fleur for stealing, marrying and divorcing Alice's only beau

What is the power that Mrs Meadowsweet has for enveloping other people's problems?

And more importantly, should she be allowed to use it?
