The woman in the ermine toque can be viewed as Miss Brill's double. She represents an ageing person unwilling to let go of her perception of her past: we learn that her hair is no longer "yellow." She wears an ermine toque (a small hat made of a very expensive fur) that would have been once fashionable but now it looks old, worn, and rather garish. The woman is a reflection of Miss. Brill.
