All I know of Ivy Compton-Burnett is the strangely comic, or comically strange, anecdote - told by Kingsley Amis in his memoirs - of the time Philip Toynbee visited to interview her. Amis alludes to Margaret Jourdain, but not by name, IIRC he calls her a "paid companion," which seems doubtfully true.
