Senator North

Senator North by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is about Mrs. Betty Madison and her relationship with her daughter as she must welcome the serious Senator North as a guest to her house. Excerpt: "If we receive this Lady Mary Montgomery, we shall also have to receive her dreadful husband." "He is said to be quite charming." "He is a Representative!" "Of course, they are all wild animals to you, but one or two have been pointed out to me that looked quite like ordinary gentlemen—really." "Possibly. But no person in official life has ever entered my house. I do not feel inclined to break the rule merely because the wife of one of the most objectionable classes is an Englishwoman with a title. I think it very inconsiderate of Lady Barnstaple to have given her a letter to us."
