| Catherine Woodruff is 20 years of age and as of yet unmarried, although she is seeking a husband of noble birth. Catherine enjoys playing the pianoforte and embroidering, as well-educated ladies are taught to do, and spends much time in studying the latest fashions and keeping her wardrobe in the current style. She spends her pin money more extravagently than her sister Helen, maintaining a stock of ribbons, lace, and thread in her sewing cabinet. However Catherine can always be depended on to give advice and she is an expert needleworker. |
