Emma Keyse's faithful servants Eliza and Jane Neck showed visitors to the auction around the fire-damaged house. They continued to live at The Glen, stripped of all it's furnishings, until Eliza died, aged 74, in December 1886. Jane, two years younger, survived until April 1891, by which time she was lodging with the family of fisherman Thomas Stiggins in Princes Road, Babbacombe.
