Excerpt from The Ogilvies: A Novel
Poor Katharine felt her timidity come over her with added painfulness, and heartily wished herself on the otto man at her grandfather's feet, instead of on her way to this terrible ordeal. But Hugh gave her hand an encouraging pressure, and she felt comforted. So she listened patiently to her mother's enumeration of all the celebrated people whom she would be sure to meet. After which the good lady, oppressed by her somnolent husband's example, leaned her head back so as not to disarrange her elegant cap, and fell asleep in a few minutes.
