Anna Vladimirovna is known as a busybody of a woman, who knows the gossip and rumors concerning her fellow émigrés. When the narrator asks her if she has seen his wife, Anna Vladimirovna calls him "a bully and a cad" and scolds him for not granting his wife a divorce. She never suspects (like the narrator and the reader) that the narrator's wife invented her tale of a "young Frenchman who could give her a turreted home and a crested name." She also berates the narrator for hanging his wife's dog, another story told by his wife that Anna Vladimirovna, like the other refugees, wholly believes.
