| - Miss Lee's father was known as Olo Lee; her mother died when she was a little girl. Lee insisted on an English education for his daughter, sending her to Hong Kong, where she adopted the Western-style name Miss Lee; the name stuck, pronounced "Missee Lee" by her Lee's countryfolk, when she returned for school holidays. Her father encouraged her to sit in council with him, then later sent her to Great Marlow school in England where she gained the Higher Certifcate with Honours and entry to the University of Cambridge. She was half-back in the hockey team, and joined the Girl Guides where she learned Morse code from which she developed the Three Islands system of inter-island signalling by whistling (ML13).
- Miss Lee is a minor character in Mansfield Park. She was employed by Sir Thomas Bertram as a governess for his two daughters, Maria and Julia. Later, she also took on Fanny Price, Sir Thomas's impoverished niece. The girl was found to be smart and eager to learn. Miss Lee left employment at Mansfield once all three girls had come out into society.
