Today's best biographer's-throwaway-line:
"Upon arrival they were taken to see Miss Camilla Croudace, the Lady Resident, a handsome little woman full of tact and good humour, who had once been chased by a wolf in the Crimea."
Goes to show that "Exit, pursued by a bear" doesn't always have to end badly.

[By the way, the biography in question is Antony Alpers's The Life of Katherine Mansfield.]
