An intellectual and imperious young woman, she is an author who gets engaged at different times to various characters, each failing to perform a difficult task for her or to meet her high standards.

[5] She is an author and writes the novel Spindrift, which is widely read and apparently well received, going into five editions and popular with "the boys with the bulging foreheads out Bloomsbury way", though Jeeves considers it a "somewhat immature production lacking in significant form".

When Florence Craye is first engaged to Bertie Wooster in the short story "Jeeves Takes Charge", she has him read a difficult book called Types of Ethical Theory.

First, in "Jeeves Takes Charge", Bertie provides the following quote, nearly identical to a passage in the second volume of Types of Ethical Theory:[9] "The postulate or common understanding involved in speech is certainly co-extensive, in the obligation it carries, with the social organism of which language is the instrument, and the ends of which it is an effort to subserve.

"[10]Bertie uses this quote to illustrate Florence's intellectual and domineering nature, since she is apparently compelling him to read this work to make him more scholarly like her and expects him to finish this book within a week.

The other, corresponding to our Nature, was in itself phenomenal, unreal, without any permanent footing, having no predicates that held true for two moments together; in short, redeemed from negation only by including indwelling realities appearing through.
