I've finally managed to run down a passage I was looking for by Stella Gibbons about a similar type of person (though the character in question is a bit more intrusively intervening than Ann usually appears to be). It's in Shadow of a Sorcerer (1955):

She had never been lovely or silly or selfish; she had always been a grand sensible type.... It did not occur to him that Ruth might have had to struggle with the temptations which beset a grand sensible type; the temptation to be hard, to be bossy, to neglect the sacramental side of church-going in favour of good works, to think that she knew everything.
