Constance Fletcher wrote under the name of George Fleming. James often visited her at her Venetian palazzino, the setting for his The Aspern Papers and he maliciosuly delighted in recounting the time that the portly Fletcher got stuck in his bathtub at Lamb House and had to be extricated by his maids. Fletcher was the author of several potboilers, of which Kismet (1877) was the most popular. Oscar Wilde dedicated Ravenna to her.
